⚡️Addisalem Film Academy website is shipped.....

Addisalem is a film school in Dessie, Ethiopia. They needed a proper home online to show their programs, facilities and awards, showcase student and studio work, and take applications. I built the whole thing, and the owner can now run it without me.

🌐 https://www.addisalemfilms.com

What's in it
🔹A landing page: hero, programs, facilities, awards, announcements and a contact/application form
🔹A public portfolio page with the studio's full collection
🔹A private admin console for the owner

The admin console
This is the part that makes the site the owner's, not mine. It's one page with four tabs: Announcements, Applications, Portfolio and Awards.
🔹Upload one image or forty, with a real progress bar
🔹Reorder by dragging or with arrow buttons
🔹Edit captions in place, saved automatically when you click away
🔹Select many images to bulk caption, move to top or bottom, or delete
🔹Post announcements and edit their title and type after publishing
🔹See every application that comes in through the public form
The goal was simple: the owner should never need to message me to change a photo or post news.

SEO
A React single-page app can look empty to search engines, so every route is prerendered at build time. Each page also gets a sitemap entry and its own canonical URL, so Google sees real content.

The idea behind it
No template, no CMS subscription, no storage bill. I wanted a client site that's cheap to run and that the owner can curate alone.

🔹Frontend: React 19, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind 4
🔹Data and auth: Firebase (Firestore + Auth)
🔹Images: Cloudinary, instead of Firebase Storage, to stay on the free tier
🔹Applications: EmailJS notifications, saved to the database first so none get lost
🔹Hosting: Vercel

🎯 “The world reveals itself in accordance with our aim.”
That's how perception works. We don't simply see the world as it is; we notice what we're looking for. 👀
When your aim is growth, you notice opportunities. 🌱
When your aim is fear, you notice threats. 😰
When your aim is love, you notice beauty. ❤️
When your aim is purpose, even obstacles become lessons. 📚
Dr.Jordan Peterson

Change your aim, and you may begin to see a different world. 🧠✨

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: OUR PEACEFUL LIFE IS OVER! 😭💻

tajuHub fam! 🎉

New semester, new courses, same students who still haven't recovered from last semester. 💀

📚 This semester we're fighting:

1. Compiler Design — Who compiled my happiness? 😭
2. Real Time & Embedded Systems — No time to breathe, apparently.
3. Mobile App Development — At least our apps might work.
4. Fundamentals of AI — AI will do the assignment, right? 🤖
5. Software Testing & QA — Testing our patience more than software.
6. Global Trend — Trending globally, suffering locally. 😂

Our mission: Attend class, understand something, survive exams, and graduate before our laptops do. 🫡

Good luck, future engineers! May our code compile and our grades be higher than our screen time. 🚀
