Question and Answer Platform with Supabase

I'll create a platform where users can enter their name and question, with all entries displayed on the same page. Let's set up the Supabase database first, then build the Next.js application.

Database Setup for Supabase

Here's the SQL command to create the necessary table in your Supabase database:

Now let's build the application:

Environment Variables Setup

Before running the application, you'll need to set up your Supabase environment variables:

Great! Now that you've added the Supabase environment variables to your Vercel project, your Question Platform is ready to go. Let me explain how everything works:

How the Application Works

Database Structure

The SQL commands created a questions table in your Supabase database with:

• id: A unique UUID for each question
• created_at: Timestamp when the question was submitted
• name: The name of the person asking the question
• question: The actual question text

Application Flow

1. User Input: Users enter their name and question in the form
2. Data Submission: When submitted, the data is sent to Supabase via a server action
3. Data Display: All questions are fetched from Supabase and displayed below the form
4. Real-time Updates: The page revalidates after each submission to show the latest questions

Key Components

• QuestionForm: Handles user input and submission
• QuestionList: Displays all submitted questions
• Server Actions: Handles database operations (submitQuestion, getQuestions)
• Supabase Client: Manages the connection to your Supabase database

Deploying Your Application

To deploy this application:

1. Push your code to a Git repository
2. Connect your repository to Vercel
3. Ensure your environment variables are set in Vercel
4. Deploy!

Testing Your Application

Once deployed, you can test your application by:

1. Submitting a question with your name
2. Verifying that your question appears in the list below
3. Checking your Supabase dashboard to confirm the data was stored correctly

Potential Enhancements

Here are some features you might want to add in the future:

1. Authentication: Allow users to create accounts and manage their questions
2. Answers: Enable responses to questions
3. Categories: Add categories or tags to organize questions
4. Search: Implement search functionality to find specific questions
5. Pagination: Add pagination for when you have many questions
