🧳 Migrating - Old to New

What is happening​

New Stack​

We are rebuilding RentReef with
  • Frontend
    • NextJs
    • TypeScript
    • Tailwind
  • Backend
    • Firebase

Old Stack​

The previous iteration of RentReef is built with
  • Frontend
    • Angular
    • TypeScript
    • Bootstrap
  • Backend
    • Firebase

Why​

The old build has been through several small teams of developers and in particular, the styling has become unworkable. It is full of custom CSS that has been implemented using Bootstrap classes, inline styling, global CSS or component level CSS.

We could focus on redoing the styling, but I feel it is the right time to take a step back and build using a newer framework that might suit a 'startup' better. Allowing for faster time to market, easier code management and easier to find talent.

When​

The plan is for a designer to use Figma, starting with TailwindUI components and build on paper 90% of the application for both desktop and mobile.

One developer will then take that and create a robust structure around the tech stack creating; documentation, components etc. before we bring in more help to assist with specific select tasks such as Stripe integration.
