This is fantastic. Everything in this video, as well as throughout your multiple KZbin channels, is structured and explained clearly with reasoning. Very much appreciated, thank you for all of this.

[@AdrianTwarog]

I'm happy you see the goal, to provide a looooot of value!

[@myhificloud]

@@AdrianTwarog The value offered in your videos and corresponding resources is immense. Can't tell you how much you and your work is appreciated.

[@SaiHan-oq5wz]

This is awesome. Thanks so much for the video Adrian.

[@sevimsoffice]

I dont understand everything you say but your explanation is amazing! I love to see every step very clearly! Hope one day more technical part will make sense to me!

Honestly, missing aspects in the video

exactly what i wanna watch if i wanna start learning appwrite! like your showcase of usage!

[@devwithbrian1534]

Thanks Adrian. This makes it easier for front-end devs to easily create full-stack apps

[@yiquanliu1379]

hanks Adrian. This makes it easier for back-end devs to easily create full-stack apps😋

You rock brother!!

[@azazahamed]

This was a fantastic tutorial Adrian! I was just a bit disappointed to see that you haven't use the new `app` directory of Next 13.

[@mustaphashuaibu1737]

Indeed

[@yaznakalp507]

You made it very simple to understand! I am facing issue while creating next.js project, I am not getting the pages folder and index file, can you help me with that, should I install any other package?

[@dabiuzumaki3262]

I will definitely follow this video step by step and I will give a detailed review after I verify everything. But firstly, thank you for making a video thats not even an hour long. I am pretty sure I can watch this till the end.

[@Brlitzkreig]

Just a couple of things. Could have given a basic outline on how to setup an SMTP server. Could have explained quickly how to setup email password recover as well as the logging in and out functions to point us in the right direction. It would have also been nice to tell the type of files that these features go in as well as where to put them ❤

[@w3mw]

Hi Adrian, amazing video. I have worked with supabase only before a little bit. Does AppWrite have Unlimited API requests for the free plan aswell as supabase have? :)

[@MMahaboob-xz5fu]

This is great work bro, but I have only one request please make an web browser with nextjs tailwind please

[@akhila9413]

Can you explain what is the difference between setting up docker like this (as recommended on the apprite website) docker run -it --rm \ --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \ --entrypoint="install" \ appwrite/appwrite:1.3.7 and what you did in this tutorial

[@mojlbhr1480]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial. Pls code repository

[@Gaamaa-oz5ef2lf3n]

I was impressed with Clerk Auth and its easy usage. They have directives to encapsulate the entire app. Which will protect in few lines of code. Is Appwrite auth also has such directives ? How many percentage you will give for Appwrite auth comparing Clerk auth ?

[@marksantos2177]

I wish you also showed how to create the UI. Can you do a UI/UX Frontend Crash Course?

[@donmanuelelios5145]

If you good in appwrite, let’s swap knowledge I am good in UI UX with Tailwindcss… it’s sweet and easy, teach me n I teach you

[@Brlitzkreig]

Would have been nice to link something to guide us 0n how to setup an SMTP server and also give us a heads up that you have to pay for a domain name. Or a service. You could have suggested a couple of service providers.

[@sandiegojoey1]

I'm not a tech guy and not sure I'm up to the task of learning all of this on your level, however, I do know what I want and am curious to know if this video is the bridge between what's in my head and a finished product. Here's what I've wanted for years! I've been wearing Garmin watches for decades. The newest Garmin smartwatches have what they call "widgets" which are nothing more than 3rd party apps that can be downloaded to the watch. Most of simple things like watch faces, weather apps, etc. And there are some fitness apps but they're pretty cheesy. I want someone to create an app that technical should be possible within Garmin but it's not. I want to create multi-activity workouts that utilize several of the Garmin activities as a continuous workout where I tap the "lap" button to move to the next workout station. Believe it or not Garmin doesn't have this feature in the way most would use it. They have a multi-sport feature but it is limited. Can the information in the video help me learn how to build a Garmin app?

[@sahilm3301]

no please refer to Garmin documentation

in frontend API connection, why didnt you use appwrite node sdk? strange!

[@kimbapslayer1995]

Man appwrite cloud is available now and it’s so much easier.

Make sure you are in the right case in your project to run this command.

[@TitaniumHart]

This was nothing but frustrating. What you showed on the screen isn't where it is on the sites and you went way too fast without showing where things actually are. This didn't help at all.

[@mustaphashuaibu1737]

Honestly you'll get lost along the especially if you're using the updated versions of both the Next.js 14 and appwrite

[@prashlovessamosa]

Hey yo

[@publictrades4428]

This is more like we're watching you write an Appwrite code for review rather than "a tutorial". We can barely see the screen - too small, and you breeze through the explanation making it seem like you're walking through a code review at a job interview.

[@AdrianTwarog]

Yeah I noticed that too, don’t worry I’ve worked to improve that for future videos! I’m slowing it down a bit more and covering things a bit better :) thanks for the feedback!

[@Brlitzkreig]

Not very impressed with the source code it's in Js when your code is in ts and most everything is different. It doesn't even look like you own the repo pretty sly Other than that I do really love your content

[@drivebuss8079]

why you expose the API key? isnt this a sensitive data? This is very dangerous according to appwrite team!

[@Brlitzkreig]

He obviously deletes the project lol
