SvelteKit The Forest
Coding one of the most dynamic query search church websites for
my congregation.
Tech stack: Svelte-Kit, PostgreSQL Drizzle ORM, Typescript, MUX
Videos, Stripe API.
Created a separate database to store additional meta data with
sermons (Mux Video database) to have an advance filter system.
Coming soon: Custom made Interactive video transcript. Having
the ability to fast forward/rewind to a time stamp of the video
based on clicking/taping on the words. (

Helped make decisions within the congregation to only spend a
less than $5 per month.
