I feel like I've been scammed. Even some of the commenters are involved in the scam.
Dev.to is filling my news feed with more rubbish everyday.

I understand your frustration, and I appreciate you taking the time to check out the repository. Just to clarify, this repo provides project ideas, not pre-built solutions. It’s meant to inspire developers to build their own projects. If you were expecting fully built projects, I see how that could be disappointing. I’ll review the wording to make sure expectations are clear. Thanks for the feedback!

Was the purpose of this so that others can out in their projects and you take the credit? I have clicked on over 20 of the categories and the projects and all are just boilerplate to add a project. If that is true you really need to change the wording on this. It is misleading.

Deepak Kumar • Feb 18

I appreciate your feedback! The repository provides 500+ project ideas to help developers find inspiration for hands-on coding. It's a community-driven space, meaning contributors can add their implementations over time. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve the wording to make this clearer, we’re open to feedback! Thanks for checking it out. 🚀

How to activate API in my program? I use Supabase but didn't know how to activate it.

Deepak Kumar • Feb 18

1. Set Up a Supabase Project

Sign Up/Login: Go to Supabase and create an account or log in if you already have one.
Create a New Project: Once you're logged in, create a new project by providing a name, password, and region.
Get the API Keys: After the project is created, you'll find the API keys in your Project Settings under the API section. You'll use the anon public key for frontend or service_role key for backend server-side requests.

2. Install the Supabase Client

You’ll need the Supabase client for your programming language (usually JavaScript for MERN stack projects). If you're using Node.js, you can install the Supabase library via npm:

npm install @supabase/supabase-js

3. Initialize Supabase Client

In your JavaScript code, you need to initialize the Supabase client with your API URL and Key. You can find your API URL in the Settings section under API.

Here's an example of how to set it up:

// Import the supabase client
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

// Initialize the client with your Supabase URL and anon key
const supabase = createClient('https://your-project-url.supabase.co', 'your-anon-api-key');

// Now you can use the Supabase API to interact with your database, authentication, storage, etc.

4. Using the API

You can interact with Supabase's API through various features, such as querying the database, handling authentication, and managing storage. Here are some examples:

Querying the Database:

async function getData() {
    let { data, error } = await supabase
        .from('your_table_name')
        .select('*');
    if (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
    } else {
        console.log('Fetched data:', data);
    }
}

Inserting Data:

async function insertData() {
    const { data, error } = await supabase
        .from('your_table_name')
        .insert([{ column_name: 'value' }]);

    if (error) {
        console.error('Error inserting data:', error);
    } else {
        console.log('Data inserted:', data);
    }
}

Authentication Example:

async function signUp(email, password) {
    const { user, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp({
        email: email,
        password: password
    });

    if (error) {
        console.error('Sign-up error:', error);
    } else {
        console.log('User signed up:', user);
    }
}

5. Security Considerations

Use the anon key for client-side code (frontend).
Use the service role key for server-side code (backend), as it has higher privileges.
Make sure to store the keys securely. Never expose your service role key in frontend code.

Let me know if you need more details or have any other questions on Supabase!

Repo is emty.
I checked 8 categories and found no projects inside.
What is the reason for lying to people about 500 projects?

Deepak Kumar • Feb 18

thanks for checking out the repository! The post shares 500+ project ideas to help developers practice and improve their skills. If you're looking for complete project implementations, this might not be the right resource. Let us know if you'd like guidance on starting a project from the list! 🚀

Deepak Kumar • Feb 18

I understand your concern. The repository is designed to provide 500+ project ideas, not completed projects. It's a resource to inspire developers to build their own projects from scratch. If you were expecting full implementations, I can see how this might be disappointing. I’ll take your feedback into account and work on making the description clearer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
