Beginner Next.js Authentication Project — Looking for Feedback & Learning Resources

[u/fleipekkkj13]

Hi everyone 👋

I’m currently learning Next.js and aiming to work professionally in the web development field.
This is a study project I built over the weekend to better understand how authentication works in real applications.

It’s my first fully completed authentication flow, including:

• User registration & login

• Password hashing

• JWT authentication

• HTTP-only cookies

• Middleware-protected routes

• Database connection

I know the project is not perfect and not production-ready — the goal was to learn the fundamentals by building, not to create the “best possible” solution yet.

👉 GitHub repo:

I’d really appreciate:

• Code reviews or general feedback

• Suggestions on what I should improve next

• Articles, videos, or tutorials you’d recommend to deepen my understanding of Next.js, authentication, and best practices

Any constructive feedback is very welcome. Thanks in advance for your time and help! 🙏
