About the Project

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app and scaffolded with npm create amplify@latest for its AWS Amplify-powered backend, using Cognito for user accounts, DynamoDB for database, and Amplify for deployment. This app offers physical therapy patients a user-friendly platform to configure custom timers for their rehab exercises. The platform allows users to save the duration (in seconds or minutes) and the number of consecutive repetitions for each timer, simplifying the process of performing regular exercises and stretches by storing personalized settings. I built this for my brother, who needed a tool to help him with his PT exercises.

Built With

Installation

1. Clone the Repository: Clone the repository to your local machine using git clone and the URL of the repository.
2. Install Dependencies: Run npm install to install the necessary dependencies.
3. Set Up AWS and Amplify: Ensure you have an AWS account and configure your account for local development. In step 5, do this within the project directory you just cloned.
4. Run The App: Run npm run dev to start the development server and the Amplify sandbox server concurrently. At this point, your backend sandbox should be working and Next should be handling the frontend development server.

Usage

Once set up properly, run npm run dev to concurrently start the Next.js development server and the Amplify sandbox server. The application will be available at http://localhost:3000. You can create an account, log in, and create timers. The timers will be saved to your account and will be available when you log in again.

Roadmap

Not sure much more will happen on this project, but, if so, next steps include:

• Comprehensive error handling for signin/signup.
• Better notification system for user actions.
• Add caching to the DynamoDB queries to reduce the number of reads and writes.
• Adjust how account validation is being handled.
• Add more user account features.
• Make audio mutable.
• Make a React Native version for mobile devices.
• Some Frontend styling improvements.
