How I created Salarygram - A Finance Tool using NextJs for GenZ ?

Motivation

Hello Everyone...

I am Vipin Gautam , 23 . I am a frontend developer. I always got curious how to manage finance in an effective way but I was so confused how & what tools are good for beginners .

Basically I was not able to find a common portal . So I thought to build a tool a aggregate all the common tools at one place SALARYGRAM

Why I choose NextJs to build ?

Main Reason :

• It supports SSR
• It has great support for images
• We can write own own APIs
• Documentation is really good

Other Reasons

• Best SEO practices.
• Fully server-rendered pages.
• Caching and Automatic Static Optimization built-in.
• 100% React support.
• Page/Routes creation is much easy.
• API support become easy.
• Support TypeScript out of box.
• Module based support.
• Obviously SSR based framework.

What I have implemented in Salarygram ?

• In-page referring using next/link.
• Page based Dynamic routing.
• Handling data from static files(not recommended, should be backed by Backend)
• Added Google Analytics :it is very easy in Nextjs.
• Module based css.
• Sharing option is used .
