Tech Stack πŸ› οΈ

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, Reactjs, Tailwind

  • Database and Authentication: Appwrite

  • Deployment: Vercel

Appwrite's Authentication service played a crucial role in Quizfy's user management system. It provided a secure and convenient way for users to create accounts, log in, and manage their authentication credentials. By leveraging Appwrite's Authentication service, Quizfy ensured that user data and login information were handled securely and efficiently.

Appwrite's Database Storage service was instrumental in storing and managing user preferences and progress in Quizfy. It provided a flexible and scalable NoSQL database solution, allowing Quizfy to store and retrieve data efficiently. With Appwrite's Database Storage service, we were able to persistently store quiz preferences, track user progress, and provide a seamless user experience across different sessions.

Appwrite provided easy-to-use and well-documented APIs, making it straightforward to integrate authentication and database services into Quizfy. This allowed you to save development time and effort, enabling us to focus on enhancing the features and functionality of the application.

Challenges We Faced πŸ˜…

During the development of the project, Quizfy, we encountered several challenges. However, with perseverance and resourcefulness, we managed to overcome them.

The first hurdle we faced was designing the front end of the website using ReactJS. We wanted to ensure that the interface was not only responsive but also visually appealing and clean. This required careful consideration of the layout, components, and styling using Tailwind CSS. Through iterative design and constant refinement, we were able to achieve the desired result.

Another challenge we encountered was setting up Appwrite for authentication and storage. Appwrite is a powerful tool, but it required us to invest time in understanding its functionalities and integration process. We delved into the Appwrite documentation and tutorials, gaining the necessary knowledge to implement it successfully into our project.

After deploying the project on Vercel, we encountered an unexpected issue with the database. It was functioning correctly when running locally, but it failed to work as expected on the live deployment. This presented a perplexing situation. To resolve this, we sought assistance from the Appwrite community on Discord. With their guidance and support, we identified and rectified the issue, ensuring that the project worked flawlessly.

Through collaboration, perseverance, and the invaluable assistance of the Appwrite community, we were able to overcome the challenges we faced during the development of Quizfy. The project is now running smoothly, providing an engaging and reliable platform for users to prepare for interviews and enhance their engineering knowledge.
