gdview

The most significant update today is just adding database seeding so development is faster. The 3 hours of logged time comes from me over-optimizing my authentication flow, and coming across a stupidly easy-to-solve problem that made me thought I was crazy.

It turns out all I needed to make the navbar stop flickering is to instantiate just ONE user ref for all uses... at least now I can finally work on some new functionality, maybe some CRUD next? 😸

Implementing the auth system was kinda gruesome, because I was not familiar with Nuxt's request lifecycle at all :( I got it done after lots of trial and error, but it would've been much more easier if I had a little experience with the framework.

In the end, I settled with a custom useAuth() hook that allowed middlewares and <script>'s could read/write to the AuthUser

Now, I have setup my postgres database with Drizzle ORM for my queries and migrations! The first API route for user authentication has been created, which taught me a lot about Nuxt's project structure; I plan to implement my own auth system with the help of Lucia Auth (great for resources and learning)

First devlog :) I've collected 16 epic movies (long youtube videos) for the cinema app and created some covers for them with Canva; For this project, I chose Nuxt as my framework - this devlog also includes the setup of gdview project folder itself, here's the commit message: config: app layout/routing, tailwindcss, dependencies
