Note taking app with next, mongoDB, shadcn

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

In this second version of my note-taking app, I significantly improved both the architecture and the user experience. I rebuilt the app using MongoDB and Next.js, which made the application more scalable and production-ready. I also integrated Tiptap to provide a richer note-editing experience, giving users better tools to create and format their notes.

Another feature I’m proud of is the “Continue as Guest” option. It allows users to explore the app without committing to sign up, which lowers the barrier to entry and improves overall usability.

Since I’m currently learning Claude Code, I would take advantage of AI tools more effectively to speed up development and improve productivity.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I’d especially appreciate feedback on my overall architecture and data modeling decisions, particularly how I structured MongoDB with Next.js. I’m also interested in improving performance, scalability, and the overall user experience—especially around the note editor and guest mode flow.
