About This Thing I Built

Behold! A website. For a wedding. That also doubles as a desperate plea for someone to hire me based on this single, slightly overcooked project. It has a landing page, a registry that actually works (mostly), and code you can borrow if you promise not to look too closely.

"Features" (Allegedly)

📱 Looks Okay on Phones (Probably)
🎯 SEO? Sure, I Put Keywords Somewhere
🎁 Over-Engineered Registry System
⚡ Things Move When You Scroll (Ooh! Aaah!)
🔍 Search That Mostly Works
🛡️ Admin Area (Password Not Included)
🧩 Code You Can Steal (MIT License)

Tech I Used (And Sometimes Regretted)

Framework: Next.js (App Router)
Language: TypeScript & React
Styling: Tailwind CSS
3D Stuff: React Three Fiber, Drei
Search Thingy: Fuse.js
Backend-ish: Node.js API Routes
Data Layer: Prisma & PostgreSQL (Neon)

How It's Cobbled Together

Landing Page: Standard wedding stuff, plus a heart that spins. Fancy.
Registry Page: Click buttons, maybe buy us stuff. Search and filter if you're picky. Admin area for us to fix your mistakes.
API Endpoints: Some server-side code that talks to the database. Includes a web scraper that barely works.
Data Layer: Started with JSON, got ambitious, now it's Prisma and PostgreSQL (hosted on Neon). Probably overkill.
Styling: Tailwind CSS, because writing actual CSS is hard.
Open Source: Yeah, it's MIT licensed. Go nuts. Structure is... present.

Making It Go Live (Good Luck)

Deploy easily to Vercel or Netlify.
Run npm install and npm run dev to start locally.
Configure environment variables via .env.example.
See README for full setup instructions.

"Contributing" (Why?)

It's open source. Feel free to point and laugh on GitHub.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines.
