Timeline: 2026
Category: 🏠 Personal Project
This project originated from pure personal interest to test modern fullstack workflows and the integration of AI interfaces in practice. It is a functional prototype that I use to explore how administrative processes in craft businesses can be simplified through targeted automation.
Technical Implementation
- Fullstack Stack: Built with Next.js (App Router) and TypeScript to gain experience with modern web development outside the .NET ecosystem.
- AI Interfaces: Integration of the Claude API for automated drafts of offers and customer emails based on structured prompts.
- Data Storage: Using PostgreSQL for persistent storage of customer, project, and material data.
- Security: Implementation of authentication flows with NextAuth.
- UI/UX: Creation of a dashboard with TailwindCSS for managing customers (CRUD), project calculations, and appointments.
Focus & Learnings
The main focus for me was learning and experimenting with new technologies:
- TypeScript: Safe handling of typing in a complete web app.
- API Design: Design of modular endpoints for chat functions and data processing.
- Rapid Iteration: Quick implementation of features from database modeling to UI components.
Status
The project continues privately as a playground for new features like payment integrations or automated tests.
