Building an app with Next.js

I love coding and I also like baking and cooking so I thought about this post as a recipe.

Ingredients:

• React
• Next.js
• Vercel
• Wit.ai
• SWR
• nager.date

And a tablespoon of:

• Eslint
• Prettier
• Husky
• Jest
• TDD
• Github actions

What happens when you have those ingredients and want to try something new?

I wondered the same, I wanted to try Next.js and Vercel and came up with a simple idea I needed for my own, a site to ask questions about upcoming holidays.

You can ask questions such as:

• What are the holidays in US and Spain between November and February?
• What are the next two holidays in argentina and usa?
• What is the next holiday in Canada?
• When is labor day in the USA?

Try it out: Ask holidays

You can check in the issues in Github that there are a few labeled as "design". I'm not very good at doing HTML + CSS so if you have a bit of advice I'd love to hear it (or even better, feel free to send a PR)

In the next posts I'll share my insights about the tools I used for the first time in this project:

• Wit.ai
• Next.js
• Vercel
