Itemsplanet.com

Itemsplanet is a website where you can find all sorts of cool items.

Process

For this project I looked into the JAM stack. Its a project that has a lot of pages. And I don't really have a server where I can render everything serverside. The JAMstack was my best option in this situation. As the Static Site Generator I used Next.js. For my Content Management System i used GraphCMS. The user is scrolling down to see the items. When the user has reached the end of the file it will show a button which says "show more". When the user clicks on this button it will render the data of the chunk. The generateChunks.js file basically scrapes all the data form the cms and generates chunks with it. These chunks will be locally fetched on the client side.

To-Do list Long Term
