FYI: just wanna say whenever you build anything consider the below

- you might need to scale or pivot things so make it flexible
- the code might get messy so use simple function and avoid repetition
- have a standard for your project even tho you work alone because you might need other people later
- write test for your code from the start because once the project is big enough, testing is hell
- document complex ideas or implementation apart from that let your code talk
- try to plan ahead
- separate your dev db and prod from the beginning if you get used to test on prod, it will be a habit
- and many more things from the best practices
