Your data, secured. v0.0.5 integrates Supabase for database and authentication, bringing Google sign-in, persistent sessions, and real data storage to Lernex. The foundation is now rock solid.
Supabase: Our Data Home
Every learning platform needs a reliable place to store data. We've chosen Supabaseas our database and authentication backbone. It's open-source, scalable, and incredibly developer-friendly.
What Supabase Powers
Your preferences, progress, and settings
Secure sign-in and session management
Lessons completed, quiz scores, streaks
Changes reflect instantly across devices
This is the foundation that allows Lernex to remember you, track your progress, and personalize your experience across sessions and devices.
Google & Email Authentication
Signing up should be effortless. That's why we've implemented multiple authentication options:
Google Sign-In
One click with your Google account
Email/Password
Traditional registration if you prefer
Email Verification
Secure account confirmation
Security isn't optional—it's foundational. Your data is protected with industry-standard encryption, and we'll never sell or share your information.
Session Cookies & Persistence
Nobody wants to sign in every time they visit. We've implemented secure session cookies that keep you logged in:
- Persistent sessions — Stay logged in across browser closures
- Automatic refresh — Seamless token renewal
- HTTP-only cookies — Maximum security protection
- Easy sign-out — One click when you need it
Your profile is also initialized automatically when you sign up, pre-populating sensible defaults that you can customize later.
Swipe Gestures for Navigation
Mobile-first means gesture-friendly. We've added swipe gesturesfor navigating between lessons:
Swipe navigation
Left/right to move between lessons
Smooth animations
Fluid transitions during swipe
Momentum scrolling
Natural physics-based movement
Touch-friendly
Large hit targets for easy tapping
These gestures make Lernex feel native on mobile devices, even though it's a web app.
Playlists Shell & Paywall Foundation
Looking ahead, we've started building the infrastructure for features to come:
- Playlists shell — The UI structure for custom lesson collections
- Paywall foundation — Infrastructure for premium features
- Usage tracking — Backend for monitoring learning activity
These aren't user-facing yet, but they're the groundwork for exciting features in upcoming releases.
From Prototype to Product
Database integration marks a crucial transition. Before this, Lernex was essentially a prototype—interesting, but ephemeral. With Supabase, your progress is real, persistent, and yours. This is the moment Lernex became a real product.
