About this web app: CreatorVerse is a full-stack web application that allows users to showcase their favorite content creators. Users can browse, add, edit, and delete creators — each displayed with their name, image, description, and platform link. It uses React and TypeScript on the frontend, GraphQL and Node.js on the backend, and MongoDB for persistent data. Images are autofilled using the Gemini API to improve UX.
Time spent: 25 hours
The following required functionality is completed:
- A logical component structure in React is used to create the frontend of the app
- At least five content creators are displayed on the homepage of the app
- Each content creator item includes their name, a link to their channel/page, and a short description of their content
- API calls use the async/await design pattern via Axios or fetch()
- Clicking on a content creator item takes the user to their details page, which includes their name, url, and description
- Each content creator has their own unique URL
- The user can edit a content creator to change their name, url, or description
- The user can delete a content creator
- The user can add a new content creator by entering a name, url, or description and then it is displayed on the homepage
The following optional features are implemented:
- Picocss is used to style HTML elements
- The content creator items are displayed in a creative format, like cards instead of a list
- An image of each content creator is shown on their content creator card
The following additional features are implemented:
- Gemini API is used to autofill creator images based on name
- Creators can have multiple platform links (e.g., YouTube, Twitter, Instagram)
- Custom modal form for editing and adding creators with pre-filled data
- Fully responsive card layout using Tailwind CSS
- MongoDB database with GraphQL backend for persistent, flexible data operations
- Interactive icons using Heroicons and FontAwesome
Here's a walkthrough of implemented required features:

I had to use an MP4 with google drive
This was a fun but challenging project. The Gemini API integration took a while to get right due to rate limits and async handling. I also spent time tweaking the modals and routing to make the UX feel smooth and modern. This prework taught me a lot about structuring a React + GraphQL project and managing complex state.
