I'm looking for a new project to work on and I chose to do some sort of school management system(grades, timetables etc.).
I want it to be able to deploy own service on a domain(for example the app would be hosted like: grading.schoolweb.org). is it doable using next?

Well i have no idea about deploying it
Dunker
one click
Saltwater CrocodileOP
Any documentation on it? Or things like configuration files etc.
Dunker
nothing, just have a github repo
and vercel account
Saltwater CrocodileOP
You didnt seem to have understood me, i mean so you can download the webapp and selfhost it yourself on your own subdomain
Dunker
why
its giving you free cloud hosting with domains and many integrations
for self hosting you ll need a lot different tool and config
@Dunker for self hosting you ll need a lot different tool and config

Can i use vercel to host and my own domain?
@Saltwater Crocodile Can i use vercel to host and my own domain?
Dunker
yep, self hosting is not that you think
Saltwater CrocodileOP
Well everythin so far i had hosted either on my own vps or on cloudflare
Dunker
yea its not self hosting
but there is a point before
do you know next.js
Saltwater CrocodileOP
I have done some stuff, not reall familiar with auth yet
Dunker
do you know sth other than next
Saltwater CrocodileOP
From frontend frameworks?
Oe what
Dunker
anything about web
Saltwater CrocodileOP
Well ive done some spring, also nosql and basics of sql. Then uhh prisma with next. Obviously tailwind
Idk what else
Ts
Dunker
but dont know is it okay to use next for your project
if you have sth else to build that app, then use it
otherwise next can handle your concerns
@Dunker if you have sth else to build that app, then use it
Saltwater CrocodileOP
I do not
Im comfortable using next
Atleast i hope
+ i think it kinda has future you know
Dunker
what is your goal about making project
Saltwater CrocodileOP
Im planning to use it as a work in a competition which could potentially give me free access to university without writing any sort of exam
(our grading software majority of school use suck)
Atleast in our country
Dunker
then build it, no matter what you use
its really doing sth, so valid
but i d recommend building it with jsf
Saltwater CrocodileOP
Isnt that like really old thing
Like deprecated
Dunker
nothing is deprecated 😄
best tech is oldest one
Saltwater CrocodileOP
Well the grading system we use currently is written with jsf + spring + winforms
So id prefer something newer you see
Dunker
i said 😄
if you want new, use newest one
maybe solid.js, qwik etc
Saltwater CrocodileOP
Ill take a look solidjs tommorow, but whats exactly the problem with next?
