Project Graveyard

Welcome to the Project Graveyard, a platform where developers can showcase their old, dropped side projects. Users can post projects with text and images, upvote other projects, and engage in discussions through comments.

Technologies Used

• Vue 3: The front-end of the application is built using Vue 3, providing a reactive and component-based user interface. Also uses vue-router for routing.

• Firebase: Firebase is used as the backend for authentication, data storage, and real-time updates.

• Tailwind CSS: The application is styled using Tailwind CSS, providing a utility-first approach for designing modern and responsive user interfaces.

• Headless UI: Components from Headless UI are leveraged to build accessible and customizable UI elements without enforcing any styling, allowing for seamless integration with Tailwind CSS.

Features

• User Authentication: Users can sign up, log in, and securely authenticate through Firebase.

• Project Showcase: Developers can showcase their side projects by posting detailed descriptions, images, and tags.

• Upvoting System: Users can upvote their favorite projects, and projects are ranked based on upvotes.
