This project picks up right where the previous Prompt Manager build left off, adding the one feature every real web app eventually needs: user authentication, using Next.js, Supabase, and Drizzle.

What changes

Once auth is in place, each user only sees and manages their own prompts — a small change that makes the app feel personalized while also matching the security expectations of a real production service.

What you'll build

Starting from the existing Prompt Manager source (provided as a template) rather than from zero, the 14 lessons focus squarely on implementing registration, login, logout, and restricting data access per user — a fast, focused way to learn the security mechanisms that show up in nearly every modern web application.
