Technologies We Are Using

For the MVP, we have carefully chosen technologies that ensure scalability, security, and a great developer experience:

Frontend: Next.js (App Router) – Provides server-side rendering, fast performance, and better SEO.
UI Styling: Tailwind CSS – A utility-first CSS framework for responsive and modern UI.
Authentication & Database: Supabase – An open-source Firebase alternative for authentication, database management, and real-time updates.
Backend: Next.js API routes – Eliminates the need for a separate backend, making API handling smoother.
Hosting: Vercel – Ensures fast deployments and seamless scaling.

This tech stack allows us to move quickly while ensuring maintainability and future extensibility.
