Tiama Legacy

A complete ground-up rebuild of a lodging website with integrated booking system. Featuring modern architecture, real-time availability, secure payment processing, and comprehensive admin dashboard for property management.

Explanation:

Tiama Legacy is a complete overhaul of an existing lodging website, rebuilt from the ground up with modern architecture and a robust booking system. The project aims to create a seamless user experience for guests while providing powerful management tools for property owners. This represents a significant step up in complexity, incorporating real-time data, payment processing, and comprehensive admin functionality.

Challenges and Key Features:

• Designing a scalable database schema for properties, bookings, and user management
• Implementing real-time availability checking and booking conflict resolution
• Building secure payment processing and booking confirmation workflows
• Creating an intuitive admin dashboard for property and booking management
• Ensuring responsive design across all devices for optimal user experience
• Implementing proper authentication and authorization for different user types

Implementation Details:

Starting with a complete architectural redesign, I'm building the application using Next.js 14 with App Router for optimal performance and SEO. The backend leverages Supabase for database management, real-time subscriptions, and authentication. React Query handles efficient data fetching and caching for booking availability. The project emphasizes type safety with TypeScript throughout the entire stack.

What I Learned:

• Advanced database design for complex booking and property management systems
• Real-time data synchronization and conflict resolution strategies
• Payment processing integration and secure transaction handling
• Role-based access control and multi-tenant architecture patterns
• Advanced React Query patterns for complex data relationships

Future Improvements:

• Complete architectural overhaul from legacy system to modern stack
• Implementation of real-time booking system with conflict resolution
• Integration of secure payment processing and booking workflows
• Development of comprehensive admin dashboard for property management
• Enhanced user experience with modern UI/UX and responsive design
