WatchLikeMe

Designed and built a full-stack MVP in two weeks: a YouTube-powered app for surfacing, organizing, and sharing video content

What I did

  • Conceived, designed, and developed the app from scratch—building a responsive UI in Next.js and Tailwind with polished animations via Framer Motion
  • Integrated Google OAuth and YouTube APIs using Express and Prisma, creating a seamless sign-in and data-fetching experience

Impact

    Demonstrated full-stack proficiency by integrating complex APIs and delivering a polished, consumer-grade UI on a tight timeline—resulting in a highly usable tool for surfacing and sharing overlooked YouTube content

Tools

  • Next.js
  • Express
  • React
