About the project
Illusion started as my first production app at 14: an Angular poster shop from Tbilisi. Version two is a rebuild from zero into a social marketplace. Creators upload posters, follow each other and sell through curated collections grouped by sound and scene, from Tbilisi Static (the Georgian rap scene) to cloud rap.
Highlights
- Next.js storefront and a separate Next.js admin dashboard on an Express + PostgreSQL API
- Creator uploads with moderation, creator badges, follows, likes, comments and notifications
- Cart, checkout and coupons; email verification and two-factor login over email or SMS
- Poster images on S3; OpenAPI docs generated with Swagger
