Good Night

Publicly

Publicly solves the friction of public-first microblogging by combining Next.js server-rendered pages with a Prisma-backed Postgres store, fast uploads via Uploadthing, and lightweight notification flows. It streamlines creating posts, following creators, and managing notifications while prioritizing performance, accessibility, and developer experience with TypeScript and Tailwind.

Why I Built This

I wanted a minimal, fast experience for sharing public posts without heavy social noise. Publicly focuses on clarity and speed—posting, following, and notifications are intentionally simple so content and conversations come first.

Architecture

Built with Next.js App Router using server and client components where appropriate, server actions for write paths, and API routes for uploads and tasks. Persistence is handled by Prisma talking to a PostgreSQL database, media uploads via Uploadthing, and the app is deployed on Vercel for edge performance.

What I Learned

Shipping this project reinforced best practices for the Next.js App Router, using server actions for secure writes, optimizing Prisma queries for feed performance, and integrating a modern upload pipeline with Uploadthing. I also refined Tailwind-driven UI patterns for accessible, responsive components.
