InstaNext

This is the source codes for my blog series on FullStack Instagram Clone with Next.js on Hashnode.

You can find a live version of the project running on Vercel and Render below

Here's the credentials of a random user if you wish to try it out (All users' passwords are secret)

email: [email protected]
password: secret

Note: I've used a free version of the web & database server. You can expect them to run slow or even break due to that reason. (Mainly due to the limit of 5 concurrent sessions of the database)

🛠 Installation & Set Up

Please refer to the blogs for the full installation process with explanation, but here's the full installation for the final codes

1. Install the dependencies

   yarn

2. Copy .env.example into a new .env file, and add an environment variable, DATABASE_URL which links to a PostgreSQL database

3. Initialize your database

   yarn migrate
   yarn seed # depends if you wish to prefill the database with values or not

4. Run the development server

   yarn dev

❓ Why is Feature X missing?

I built this project solely for my blog series, so this project isn't meant to be a full clone.
