💻 #108: Build a YouTube Clone with Next.js 15 🎥
Plus a text-to-slug app, auction guesser, and weight converter
Hey happy Friday! How did you find the React Native tutorial last weekend? I quite enjoyed it, however I found Appwrite a bit difficult to work with when I tried to expand on the project. It turns out it’s not possible to query by relationship. So until that’s possible I think I’ll stick to using Supabase for now.
Anyways we’re back with a new tutorial this weekend we’re back to the web applications, and buckle your seat belts this one looks great. It’s almost 12 hours but you build a pretty impressive Youtube clone.
Tutorial of the week:
Length: 11.5 hours
This weekend’s tutorial is by Code With Antonio. I really like his videos because he tends to incorporate technologies not often found in most Youtube tutorials.
What you’ll learn this weekend:
Next.js 15

3 frontend projects of the week:
Use these projects to inspire future projects of your own.
1. Auction Game
Guess the auction price of these items! A previous project of Neal.fun.
2. Text to Slug

Simple idea, made well. Great project idea.
3. Weight to Objects
A nicely designed weight-to-object converter. For example, 100kg === 500 iPhones
That’s all folks!
