- Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-built styles and components for rapid UI development.
- tRPC: A next-generation TypeScript API framework for building APIs with strong typing and automatic code generation.
- Redis: An in-memory data store used for rate limiting.
- User registration authentication and advanced management.
- Tweeting functionality with exclusive emoji usage.
- Use of SSG and SSR to improve performance and SEO.
- Timeline to view and interact with tweets from other users.
