So i solved a vercel hosting issue where it looks for a folder instead of route and added some guest login logic and refactored the already written authentication code to avoid unnecessary complexity. Yeah this devlog was about resolving some errors and now i think i m gonna work on the frontend...

This is my longest devlog and probably will be because I got stuck in cors middleware and https certs etc while setting up jwt tokens for sessions and because I was using free domains browsers were blocking my cookies. Even though the time says some hours my past 2 days have been spent on this like making a change and then postman and browsers dev tools but it is all working now after buying a domain. Now I can focus on developing the application cause most of authentication part is handled.

Hosted my site's frontend on both github pages and vercel, now i m looking for backend hosting services and yeah also the database too

Created the contact us page. It's backend is not set yet cause i decided it would be better to work on the boring frontend and then get to the juicier part of setting things up

Created the about page of the site and i attached the recording. I think that's it for this devlog.

Worked on a simple looking moving ribbon animation. I thought it was very easy i mean it's just a simple ribbon moving but turns out i had to scroll through the gsap documentation for hours to get it right, n i also worked on creating some boxes whose content i m going to fill later. Thaat's all

Created another animation...... and more responsiveness bugssss, don't know when these bugs gonna leaveeeeeeee.

Started the home page landing and created some text animations that look cool to me n now working on another animation rn. Hope all goes welllllllll.........

Created a header n then I fixed another problem in the pages due to that overflow property i mentioned before. Now working on the animation of the landing page, will update soon if everything goes well.

I was working on the footer and I realized my document was not scrolling so after long review of the code i found the bug that i set the overflow property to none and after turning it to auto my nav overflowed so i fixed that problem n currently working on the footer of my site.

I added the signup page and now you can't sign in without having an account but the most important thing were many bugs that appeared due to that and I had to kinda restructure the whole database for that. So kind of spent the whole previous day in database panel and inspect view of browser. But most of these are resolved now. Next I plan on adding JWT tokens for sessions time. Wish me luck.

Completed the OTP verification process for my site using Resend to send emails and then adding a separate route in backend for authentication and it works fine. I also added OTP expiry time which also seems to work and resolved some bugs, no many bugs. I think I will work on the sign up page because I have to setup its database and separate page so I will have to make some changes in these pages too. I guess that was all.

I wanted to work on the authentication first as I mentioned, I already created the structure of my program. Today I reviewed a bit of CSS and styling knowledge and created a responsive navbar and sign in form. I could not add multiple images, I think it doesn't supports now so i cannot send the responsive one img too. Anyway, I got to learn a bit creating this and now if I don't fall on my bed, I will work on the authentication backend and will update u people.

Yesterday, I formed the basic structure of the site on a paper and so decided to work on backend tasks first, like in the time logged I setup a database model for OTP verification and I got stuck in setting up environment vars for the database login, that took some time. I also searched a bit about resend application for email sending. I hope I can integrate it today. I guess that was it.
