One of the projects of the 2022 Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp (signups open March 29, bootcamp starts on April 05) is building a Twitter Clone.
I typically consider social networks to be a good way to lose your time. But not when you look at them as a developer trying to replicate their features.
In this case, they become really good teachers.
In part because you might be familiar with how they work.
In part because they offer features we can look at, and think about how to recreate on our own, without trying to invent anything new.
Take Twitter. Even if you don’t use it, you surely know vaguely how it works. Someone tweets something, people can like, retweet and reply.
In this project of the bootcamp we’ll try to replicate the core functionality of Twitter.
In particular, we’ll focus on
- authentication, setting up a Next.js website for email-based authentication
- letting users choose a username once they login
- offering users a form to tweet their thougths
- viewing all tweets (home page)
- viewing tweets from just a single person (profile page)
- implementing pagination when tweets are too many
- allowing users to reply to tweets
- allowing users to delete their own tweets
Everything under the hood is powered by Next.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma.
A very simple stack that you can use to build everything you want.
In the bootcamp, we’ll build 15 projects all with the same stack of tools.
I think repetition and a laser-focused approach is key to really “get” a technology.
Instead of doing every project with something different, which you’ll forget about in 1 week, we’ll keep reusing and reusing the same core set of tools and you’ll become a real master.
So in the end you’ll be able to look at anything and say “I can build that”.
