Updated Pyodide to version
0.18.1
to support Safari and mobile browsers. -
Updated Next.js to v12 for
webpack
v5 support, faster builds, and web fonts optimizations. -
Updated Bootstrap to v5. No noticeable change other than a few breaking classnames.
-
Switched all Google Firebase services (auth, firestore, functions) to Supabase because:
- Students in China could not use the site without using a VPN since Google services are blocked in China.
- Firebase is proprietary. Supabase is open-source.
- Pagination with Firestore is unnecessarily complicated.
- Supabase uses Postgres as a backing database. This makes it easy to make joined queries.
- Supabase provides a type generator that works seamlessly with Typescript.
Spring 2021 deployment uses Firebase Auth and Firestore. The link here is only for an archival purpose.
