1 month
As a personal project, I built Countz.io, a web app that lets you create and share custom counters for important events: product launches, weddings, competitions, deadlines and more. The goal is to offer a simple, visual interface to communicate around time passing⊠or time remaining.
This project let me apply my fullstack skills across backend architecture, user experience, asset handling and real-time data.
The UI was built with Next.js, leveraging its speed, server-side rendering and excellent Vercel integration. The architecture delivers a smooth experience and fast counter loading, even when shared publicly.
I used Supabase to handle all user data, authentication (email/password and magic links) and storage of custom background images. Supabase provides a robust, scalable backend that's perfectly suited to this kind of SaaS project.
Users can upload images to customize their counter backgrounds. Files are stored securely via Supabase Storage. A private/public access system respects visibility preferences.
Public or private counters. Custom title, emoji, colors and background image. Easy sharing via a unique URL. Responsive design for an optimal experience on mobile and desktop.
The app is deployed on Vercel, ensuring smooth continuous integration, optimal load performance and minimal production rollout time.
