TL;DR
I built an open-source app to add upvote, like, and reviews anywhere.
And while it sounds easy, I kind of broke my head on the arc...

Hi Nevo!
First of all, congratulations on this project! It looks simply amazing!
As a front-end developer, I would like to know a little bit more about that aspect. If I understood correctly, in the end, if I want to use your service, do I need to add your component to my website? Is it designed as a web component? If not, would I be able to use it in an Angular app, for example?
I love the project, and once again, congratulations!
Isma
Hi Isma,
At the moment the project is self-hosted and you would need to host the entire project in order to use the component!
Yes, you need to add the component to your website, as this is the first version there is only a React Component. I hope the in the coming months I would have:
This is the NX library of the React component
github.com/clickvote/clickvote/tre...
In the future I would also host the entire service, so you can only use the component without hosting it yourself :)
I hope it helps!
Nicee!
I was thinking about helping in that part, maybe I can create a PR to add a web component or an angular component. Are you open to that?
:)
Of course!
But I am going to change the architecture a bit.
I got a bit of backlash on building something too complicated.
I might start by removing timescale and kafka.
Ok!
If I have time this week I might start just creating the markup and styling the component.
I'll stay in touch.
Great!
I added some setup instructions to make it a lot easier.
I have already created the angular directory over
/libs/angular-component
And it's already published to npmjs on
npmjs.com/package/@clickvote/angular
great great great stuff...
The issue that I have and I guess some others have is taking all what we know in this and that and piece it all up together and create solutions like this you just did.
I really really really want to say KUDOS to you for stepping out and sharing this. Many others have ideas but the implementation ... like what you just did here is where they get stuck and drop the idea.
Again Kudos!
Thank you so much Lionel! ❤️
Awesome. I will look into the project a little bit deeper later.
Haven't you considered using Supabase for most of the backend / real-time features of you application?
Superbase are really amazing for that, and I am using them with projects like
libraries.github20k.com
For the public upvotes.
I feel that as a closed sourced product that will probably be my go to.
But as an open-source product it must be flexible to any need.
If I put Supabase, I would force open-source users to use Supabase (they are great, but limiting)
Does it make sense?
Yes of course. Thank you!
❤️
Just wow 🤩 you outdid yourself this week. Such a wide spectrum of technologies - in the end simplicity 👏
Thank youn so much Marc!
According to Hackernews, I did an overkill infra haha
Hahahaha love it 😍
You're a freaking guru. Great Job!
Haha, thank you so much ❤️🚀
Congrats, awesome stuff David!
Thank you sooo much!
Nice idea!
Thank you so much!
This is really great 👌👌
Thank you! ❤️
Wow! Really cool project! I already gave you a star on GitHub.
As a front-end developer, it's a little hard for me to understand why would you need such a huge architecture for a component like this... don't you think something like Pocketbase or Supabase would get the job done for both, the component and the admin?
Yes! for the simple option of having an upvote that can def work.
But my questions was:
I might be wrong about them all.
I think that PocketBase is good for small to medium-large (many thousands of requests per day), and the PocketBase SDK could be used for both, handle the votes and also get and post data to be used with the admin and analytics.
But as you say, if you want to create a huge app, maybe like Instagram, PocketBase or Supabase may not be the best fit for those kind of projects.
Pretty cool project by the way!
Great article @nevodavid
