Finding your way around the codebase

The Frontend is primarily in pages/index.js

The API is in pages/api (a Next.js pattern).

• upload.js handles file uploads
• investor.js handles investor submission

TODO

There is a lot left to do!

Frontend

• Use Formik to make the form a lot more user-friendly and easier to maintain in the code
• Form validation (use Yup)
• File upload progress
• Step-wise progress indicator as the FE uploads the file and THEN sends in the investor data
• Error states

Backend

• Validation
• Use collision-safe file naming on the uploads
• Upload to a safe area, assume malicious files

Fullstack

• Authentication
• Authorization
