Next-JS and tailwind enter the stage

Let's get this going.

Next JS is amazing, the NEXT 13 version is also looking interesting. Concepts of server-side rendering are so good they make me want to redo my portfolio website from zero. But the time it would take just doesn't sound convincing...

With Next JS comes next-auth for authorization, solid tool, will remember it.

I think I've avoided Firebase for a very long time. Just because I preferred working with Mongodb and MySql. Yet here we are. Starting to really like it.

Shame to admit, but I knew about the sockets that wait and can run functions on certain events. Eh, long story short - I just realised databases like Firebase and Mongoose can provide functions like "onSnapshot" and update data in real time. Well, thanks firebase for opening my eyes.

And wait! There's more! It has in-built plugins and tools that connect everything for You? (example - stripe extension) What's there not to like.

Well there's one thing not to like, although it's unrelated to Firebase. Facebook authentication has been a rather annoying experience. To the point where I'm on the verge of simply replacing it with the trusty google auth. And I think that's the way to go.
