Minatori

This wasn't a project we started from a blank page. We came in partway through, with a site where some sections weren't deployed, the database connection was unreliable, and the parts that mattered most weren't yet doing their job. The first task was to understand what was there, work out what was solid and what needed fixing, and make a plan to get it finished.

We worked through it in Next.js, React and TypeScript, with a Node backend. We got the unfinished sections deployed, sorted out the database connection so data flowed reliably, and steadied the parts that were causing problems. Coming into an existing codebase means spending time reading it before changing it, so that each fix works with what's already there rather than adding new problems. The goal throughout was a site that actually ran, and a codebase clean enough for the team to carry on with.

The heart of the site is a mining calculator. Someone chooses a graphics card, and the site shows them what it can mine and what they could expect to earn, which is the exact question a prospective miner wants answered before they spend anything. If that calculation is wrong or doesn't run, the whole site loses its point.

So a good deal of the work went into the data behind it and making sure those calculations ran correctly and reliably. From there, the site connects the answer to the action: once someone sees what a card could earn, they can buy that hardware through the shop. Tying the calculator to the store on the same Next.js and TypeScript foundation is what turns the site from an interesting tool into a working business. With that in place, the shop went live and the startup had a platform they could sell from and keep developing.
