A web application to help you find your next rental property.

This is the main project from my Next 14 From Scratch Course

If you are following along with the course and running into issues, then please take the time to read the README in the bugfix branch as this solves many common problems.

There is also a refactor branch where the code has been heavily refactored to stay true to NextJS recommended best practices by using querying the database directly from our server components for data fetching, and performing updates and adding data using server actions.
The refactor also makes deployment a fair bit smoother.
The course is currently being re recorded for a re release using the code in the refactor branch.

The _theme_files folder contains the pure HTML files with Tailwind classes.
