Start Refactoring Project

I will be refactoring a web application I built specifically as a capstone project for the coding bootcamp I graduated back in January of 2022. It is a passion project that I was trying to bring to life from written words on a Notion page to a functional and interactive platform using my newly-acquired skills, as a Full Stack Web Developer, at the time using the MERN stack.

So I randomly thought about it and recently bumped into the capstone project folder on my Google Drive that it has not left my mind and I think I am going to refactor it using the following tech stack:
- Next.js (Framework)
- ChakraUI (Accessible Components)
- Tailwind CSS (Styling)
- Supabase (Backend) or Custom Built Backend w/ Express, Node, & MongoDB

custom backend for nextjs still is a puzzle for me. most of my experience is with express, now that i worked with next.js i wonder even if need to have custom backend. If you want to use custom backend (with express.js for example) with nextjs can you say why? 🤔 (i really don't know, but curious to know)

When I do start on that version of the backend. I wouldn't mind sharing what I learned.

@danielcodex the custom built backend is going to be for learning purposes but I will be using Supabase for production version of the project.
