This project is not a replacement for big companies like Medium. It is not a blog, but just a simple note-taking app which is primarily developed to summarise YouTube videos, taking notes on some topics and sharing them later on.
Since the project is based on Next.js arcitecture, even though it has dynamic data fetching from database, it is still blazingly fast. I developed it as semi progressive web app, which means you can use it on your phone like an actual program if you have internet connection.
For the curious ones, the website itself has a perfect score on every category in Lighthouse tests.
You can go to the website following this link. If you have a Github account (which I believe you do), you already have a ResearchBox account. Simply press Login button anywhere on screen to start using ResearchBox.
All we need to do is to add a new draft to get started. To do that, first we head to the All Work page.
Since we don't have any work here yet, we can create a new one with the Add New button. After pressing the button, we will be presented with research editing screen.
Let's explain every element.
- Header of the research.
- Short explanation will be shown in all the researches and
All Workpages. - Tag container (press enter to add new unique tag).
- Is published switch. If not turned on, only you can see the research even if you share it.
- Markdown edit window.
- ChatGPT Prompt Generator.
It uses your clipboard to transcribe a video and give you copy-ready ChatGPT prompt to get the summary of any YouTube video. Please make sure the last item in your clipboard is the YouTube video link.
- Save button, which saves the changes or wait for 5 seconds after the last change to autosave feature to kick in.
Once you finish adding a research, your research will be added to the All Work page. As you can see, new buttons will come up:
The (1) is the delete button to remove any researches you want. And the (2) is the indicator that you can track whether the research is published. Remember that you cannot go to the published researches from this page. All other pages will show the released version of the research.
It is very straight forward. You can see the tags you created, and checkout the articles have that tag.
You can see your published researches and preview them here.
Once you logged in, you can see your last 5 published researches here.
Everything under the URL of https://research-box.vercel.app/posts/POST_ID directory counts as an article. If you share that URL and your research is published, everyone who follows this URL can see the research without a need to login.
All pages are entirely supports light and dark mode settings of your device. Also, pages are responsive in order to be opened in all devices.
By clicking the share button on your device, you can add ResearchBox to your home screen on your mobile device. It looks and works like a mobile app.
After adding the ResearchBox to the home screen, as you can see, it works like a different app (not a Safari tab anymore).
