Show HN: Launched my side project with Vue/Firebase. Give me your honest opinion
Hi, my name is Luke, I&#x27;m 25 and I work as a Front-end Developer in a software company for 3 years now.<p>About one year ago I decided to try to build my side project. Also I wanted to teach myself a new framework - Vue.js which at that time gained popularity so I thought it would be a great opportunity to learn something new.<p>I wanted to build, as I call it &#x27;Global Creative Community&#x27; called Branding Pavilion which is an online directory of companies, events, job offers and interviews from the digital industry.<p>The idea behind this project is to help clients reach digital&#x2F;marketing&#x2F;software companies and create an online community.<p>Software stack of this project includes: Bootstrap 4 as a CSS framework, Vue.js for logic and functionality, Firebase for database and backend, Stripe as a payment method, Cloudflare for protection and security.<p>It took me about 8 months to teach myself everything and write all the code. For the most part it was fun because I&#x27;ve learned a ton of new things about Single Page Applications.<p>After I launched, I cold emailed potencial companies that might be interested in being listed and right now the directory has about 250 digital&#x2F;creative companies.<p>Eventually I thought this project could bring me some money, so I decided to add Stripe integration and optional sponsorship offer.<p>What do you think about this project? I look forward to your feedback.<p>Last but not least if you own a digital&#x2F;creative&#x2F;marketing company feel free to include your company profile in the directory, just sign up and fill in a form.<p>URL: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.brandingpavilion.com
