Hello everyone!
I'm excited to present one of my most accomplished projects to date: ForVoyez.
The story behind ForVoyez is simple yet interesting. While developing two plugins for Strapi and Obsidian to optimize article writing for my blog and portfolio, I found myself reusing a specific piece of code multiple times. This code makes three calls to OpenAI's APIs to analyze context, interpret an image, and generate a description, title, and caption.
That's how the idea for ForVoyez was born: transforming this small piece of code into a marketable SaaS (Software as a Service) offered as a subscription.
In collaboration with Bréval Le Floch (https://brev.al), we developed the platform using a range of modern and powerful tools:
-
Frontend and Backend:
- NextJS stack with TailwindCSS for efficient development and responsive design
- Vitest and Playwright for unit and end-to-end testing
- API managed by NextJS using server actions, offering appreciable convenience
-
Database:
- PostgreSQL, chosen for its reliability and our existing expertise
- Prisma for schema and data management
-
Authentication:
- Clerk, providing a comprehensive and easy-to-integrate solution
-
Payments:
- LemonSqueezy (an alternative to Stripe), although in retrospect, Stripe might have been a better choice due to its more comprehensive documentation
Numerous other technologies were used in this project. For more details, I invite you to check out the project's GitHub repository.
In conclusion, ForVoyez is a project I'm particularly proud of. It demonstrates a high level of polish, both visually and functionally, incorporating all aspects of a professional and high-performing SaaS.
The most impressive part is that we completed this project in just one month, working as a duo, while juggling our apprenticeship obligations and classes. It's an achievement we can be legitimately proud of!
