PromptLand is a web application that I created during my Next.js learning journey. It serves as a hands-on platform to enhance my understanding of Next.js concepts and build practical projects using this powerful framework. Additionally, PromptLand comes with OAuth authentication for a secure and personalized learning experience.

Tech used: Next.js, React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, OAuth.
PromptLand is built using Next.js, a popular React framework for server-side rendered applications. Next.js simplifies the process of building scalable, fast, and SEO-friendly web applications.
During the development of PromptLand, the first step was to familiarize myself with the Next.js project structure and understand its routing system. Next, I planned the application's components and pages, breaking down the UI into reusable modules. For instance, the coding challenge component and the real-world project module were designed to be reusable throughout the app.
With the component structure in place, I focused on fetching data for the coding challenges and projects. I used custom API endpoints to simulate the challenges and tasks, providing a seamless learning experience. Additionally, I integrated code editors to enable users to practice writing and running code directly within the app.
To ensure a secure and personalized experience, I implemented OAuth authentication in PromptLand. Users can log in with their preferred social media accounts, making the registration process hassle-free and safe. OAuth provides a robust and industry-standard authentication mechanism, protecting users' data and privacy.
