Storytellers - a Vue, NUXT, SSR, Vuetify, Firebase [Auth, Firestore, Storage, Functions] application

I am trying to develop an web application from the ground up in order for me to really learn and understand modern web development. I wrote a blog entry when I first started out and I have continued to work on the sample application.

There is very little you can do with the application but it covers a lot of ground already. I have managed to covers all the tiers I am trying to learn:


Hopefully, if I have time, I can add more functionality to it so that it looks and feels like a proper functional application.

What is the web application about? Well at the moment it allows a user to upload images to Firebase storage and displays thumbnails on the home screen. Sounds amazing. Ultimately I would like to 'expand' on that :-) and end up with a community driven application providing a platform for the creative and artistic to share and collaborate their stories and ideas with one another.

Yeah so arguably that idea is pointless and ... yeah it might be ... but it allows me to try many different things and covers many different technology stacks so I am going to learn a lot by doing this.

I don't expect anyone to be interested in "collaborating" with me in development but I want to keep this opensource and invite anyone out there who is keen and able to contribute to the development of this project. Feel free to fork the repository, raise issues and submit pull requests.
