What is Boardio?

So Boardio was a school project for my graduation program. We needed to start our own company and build a brand from the ground up. Mine was ofcourse Boardio. The start of the projects was to make a logo and figure out a name for your company. My logo looked like a dice but had a background meaning that it were 4 people around a table in it. The name boardio on the other hand came from Board and then IO the internet extension.

Like I mentioned early Boardio was my first ever project in NextJS. And did I like it? Hell no! I had a really hard time figuring out how to work with NextJS and how to use it. I also had a hard time figuring out how to use React. I had to learn everything from the ground up also because it was the first time I used a framework. In general the scope of the project was a bit too big but it teached me a lot. On the end after some retries I managed to finish the project and I'm happy with the result.

But I am going to revisit the project again soon and build it in my favorite framework sveltekit from the ground up again. This time I will use a database and not just a file that contained all the data and I will also make it a fullstack application with authentication and more. The project was mostly to show my frontend skills to the teachers but now I really want to build it better to improve my skills and to show it to the world. I will also make a blog post about it when I'm done with it and my journey to the end result. So stay tuned for that!
