Thank you! Since this is just a hobby project, I didn’t really plan it out. I just got started and tried to present the information as clear as possible.

No, I didn’t. I wrote all UI components myself. You can find them in β€œsrc/components/UI/β€œ. :)

I am mostly amazed by the timeframe! How did you finish it in a short period? Can you share? Didn't you anything other than this?

The design and animations look so neat and lovely. Did you make a sketch before or go along the way? As I am a Frontend developer, I am so interested to know about the design process which came in a short amount of time.

Hi, thank you very much. As this is just a hobby project, I didn't really plan it out. I just started and decided on the design spontaneously. :) I've done quite a few projects in the past, so it became quite an intuitive process.

Thanks for the reply Timo. I was checking some codes in the repo. Would you mind if I reach you about my queries?

Nice job! Looks very polished and I like that you made it extensible by allowing adapters. I was thinking of writing something very similar for alpas.dev/ framework but I think I can just write an adapter now without having to write everything from scratch.

Your demo does not work. It doesn't accept any password, no matter what you type. I've followed directions and still no luck. It shouldn't be too hard to type a password for a demo :(

Do you mean while setting up a new organization? The password should have between 12 and 20 characters, contain upper and lower case characters, numbers and special characters. After setting up an organization you will be redirected to the sign-in where you need to provide the email and password that you used to set up your organization.

Yes, that's what I mean. I do type between 12 and 20 chars, upper and lower case , numbers and the chars from the list and still no luck.

The interface is so good. Nowadays i am coming across such amazing projects that involve React. Going to jump on React as soon as i complete my Maximilian's JavaScript Course. Really hyped to work on React.
And this project may be your hobby project but it looks premium and has a lot of potential. Amazing job. ✌

Thank you, Felipe. I used Framer Motion for the animations. It’s the first time I used the library but it seems to be very powerful.

Thank you very much for testing it. Of course you can. You can send me an email at hello@timo.engineer so I can set you up on the production instance, which is even faster.
