Wayfinder
Full-stack app with auth, database management, and a clean interface for navigating structured content.
Overview
Wayfinder is a full-stack Next.js application built around navigating and managing structured content with proper authentication and a PostgreSQL database.
Challenge
Getting the auth flow right with NextAuth while keeping the app responsive. Also wanted the database schema to be flexible enough for different content types without becoming overly complex.
Approach
Next.js App Router with Prisma for type-safe database access. NextAuth handles authentication. Tailwind for the UI. Kept the architecture straightforward — no unnecessary abstractions.
Outcome
A solid full-stack template that I've been able to reuse patterns from in other projects. The Prisma + NextAuth + Next.js combination works really well once it's set up properly.
