Personal finance app

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

I'm proud of actually learning a bit of backend and leveraging nextjs serverless functions helped me a lot with that. Basically having everything I need to create a full-stack app made my life easier

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Oh boy, where do I begin, first of all, authentication, thank god there are tons of guides for that. After that, database management and caching. Figuring out how should I create the different types of data I need to store in my database and how to attach them via a user and many more...how to create a donut chart, how to use the useActionHook, what needs to be rendered on the server and what doesn't.

I guess I haven't entirely figured it all out and I'm still working on identifying areas where I can improve the app overall but most of them I resolved by reading various threads, chatGPT, nextjs docs, react-query docs and so on.

I'm a firm believer that by spending enough time on something will inevitably help you understand and fix

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

Mostly just how to optimize stuff, what should be client side and what shouldn't. I already tried to fix some of them but I'm really interested in other points of view. I'm pretty sure I made a lot of mistakes so please shoot, I want to hear how I suck :D
