The Problem
With thousands of new AI tools launching every month, developers and businesses had no single place to discover, compare and discuss them. Existing directories were static lists with no social layer.
The Solution
Built a production-grade Next.js + Node.js platform with dynamic discovery, a community feed, real-time chat, personalised recommendations and creator dashboards — all in a scalable monorepo.
Key Features
- AI tool directory with filters, categories, upvotes & comments
- Real-time chat & notifications with Socket.io
- Personalised feed & recommendation engine (OpenAI)
- Admin dashboard with moderation, analytics & role-based access
- Google OAuth + JWT authentication
- SSR for SEO with Docker, Nginx & CI/CD
Challenges
- Delivering real-time chat and notifications at scale
- Designing a personalised recommendation engine on top of OpenAI
- Shipping a production monorepo with CI/CD and a reverse proxy
Results
- Live community platform with a curated vault of AI tools
- Real-time engagement across feed, chat and notifications
- SEO-friendly SSR pages indexed quickly
