Project Overview

Project Spark is a platform designed to facilitate the process of capturing and sharing software project ideas. It allows developers to document their observations of real-world problems and generate ideas to solve them. Additionally, Project Spark serves as a guide for beginners who lack project management skills, providing them with a structured framework to develop and execute their projects.

Features

Idea Documentation: Developers can easily capture and document their project ideas, including title, description, problem observation, and tags.
User Registration and Authentication: Users can create an account, log in, and authenticate their identity to access the platform's features securely.
Collaboration: Users can collaborate on ideas by leaving comments and providing feedback on each other's projects.
Idea Rating System: Users can upvote or downvote ideas to indicate their interest and help prioritize popular projects.
Tagging System: Ideas can be categorized and tagged with relevant keywords, making them easier to find and filter.
Dashboard: Users have access to a personalized dashboard that provides an overview of their profile, ideas, feedback, and progress.

projectspark's Issues

User Authentication Issue - User Does Not Exist

Description:
I encountered an issue with user authentication in my Django project where the system reports that the user does not exist when attempting to authenticate using JWT (JSON Web Token).

Issue Details:
Upon attempting to authenticate a user with their credentials, the system returns an error message stating that the user does not exist. This occurs even though the user has been successfully registered and their information is stored in the database.

Steps to Reproduce:
Register a new user through the registration endpoint.
Obtain the JWT token for the registered user.
Send a request to authenticate the user using the obtained token.
Receive an error message stating that the user does not exist.

Expected Behavior:
The user should be successfully authenticated using the provided token, as the user has been registered and exists in the database.

Question In Progress

Now we are done with our setup.
I Want to know when we will start and did you have any images for the project.

NEXTJS AND REACT INSTALLATION FILES IN ONE FOLDER

the nextjs files is mixed up with the former create react app files you installed.
will need to clean up the folders and work with nextjs only.

Title: Implement User Dashboard in Frontend

Description:
As part of the projectSpark frontend development, we need to implement a user dashboard that provides a personalized overview of the user's profile, ideas, feedback, and progress. This dashboard will be the central hub for users to manage their data and activities.

Features to be included in the user dashboard:

Profile Section:
Display user's profile picture and basic information.
Allow users to update their profile information and profile picture.
Ideas Section:
Show a list of the user's created ideas with their titles, descriptions, and tags.
Allow users to create new ideas and edit/delete existing ones.
Provide links to view the details of each idea.
Progress Section:
Show the progress of each idea (if applicable), such as the completion status or milestones achieved.
Provide visualization of progress using charts or progress bars.
Notifications Section:
Display notifications for updates related to the user's ideas, followed ideas, and comments.
Allow users to mark notifications as read or dismiss them.
Activity Log:
Show a chronological list of the user's recent activities, such as idea creations, feedback received, and comments made.
Settings:
Provide a settings section for users to manage their account preferences and notification settings.
Logout:
Include a logout button that allows users to log out of their account.
The user dashboard should be responsive and accessible on various devices. API calls to the backend will be required to retrieve and update user data and activities.

Let's discuss the implementation details, design considerations, and any specific requirements related to the user dashboard in this issue.
