Introduction

Recently I joined a community of auto enthusiasts I found through social media. I’ve found a common greivence amongst these enthusiasts, they love talking about their cars or bikes but every time someone asks about a modification or part they installed, they have to search google and try and find the part to share. there’s got to be a better solution than that right? Well, the best solution is using something like linktree to share all of you modifications on a single page. If you know anything about auto enthusiasts its rare you find a car with just a couple modifications, its usually a long list.

This inspired me to create modspotlight.com a website where you can list your vehicles, their corresponding modifications, your social media links, and toolboxes where you can categorize your tools.

I’ve been on a next.js kick lately so I built this app using next.js leveraging Next.js’s edge functions and server side rendering. This project marked a couple personal firsts for me:

• Server side rendering on non-reactive pages like the home page and user’s public profiles
• Edge functions using next.js’s app router thus avoiding API routes all together
• Public Release candidate subdomains for user acceptance testing
• Recruiting a small community to help beta test
