Utools

Description

Utools has evolved from a simple reference website into a full CRUD web application powered by Supabase, offering a secure and dynamic environment for developers and designers.

Now each registered user has access to their own Dashboard, where they can create, edit, and delete posts, with a notification system providing instant feedback.

The platform maintains its modern and creative identity, focusing on usability, responsive design, and optimized navigation to ensure an engaging experience across devices.

Project Overview

The idea for Utools was born in early July 2024 as a personal reference site for dev tools, components, and designs. Over time, I decided to expand it so other developers and designers could benefit too.

Since April 2025, Utools entered a new phase: transforming into a professional web application with Supabase. Now it includes authentication, personalized dashboards, and full CRUD functionality.

The stack relies on React for a dynamic user experience, TailwindCSS 4.1 and HeroUI for a modern interface, and Supabase as a powerful backend solution.

The design continues to be 100% original, balancing creativity with usability. Color palette, typography, and layout were carefully refined to reflect the brand’s modern and engaging identity.

The evolution to Utools 2.0 also included SEO improvements, loaders (skeletons & buttons), and an optimized search/filter system, making the app feel faster, smarter, and more user-centric.

TakeAways

Deepened knowledge of React, Supabase, and authentication systems, while learning to manage real CRUD workflows in a production-ready environment.

Improved design skills with TailwindCSS 4.1 and HeroUI, pushing me to create modern and accessible components.

Learned the importance of notifications and loaders for UX, ensuring users receive instant feedback and smooth navigation.

Understood the challenges of scaling a project from a simple static frontend to a dynamic, database-driven application.

Strengthened skills in SEO, documentation, and professional deployment practices, making Utools a project closer to a real-world production app.
