90% people don't take action, just because of the fear they carry everywhere.

𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Turns out the real challenge was migrating existing production data safely.
My app already had:

• rewards
• tasks
• transactions

…but all of them were modelled to support a single user.

The problem:
I couldn’t lose or break existing data while introducing users.

So here’s the migration strategy I used:

1. Added a 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 table
2. Added nullable 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿_𝗶𝗱 fields to:

• rewards
• tasks
• transactions

3. Created a system user
4. Wrote a migration script to connect all existing records to that system user
5. Verified relationships and data integrity
6. Only then changed 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿_𝗶𝗱 from optional -> required

Mistakes I avoided:
• Making 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿_𝗶𝗱 required immediately
• Writing destructive migrations
• Breaking existing production records
• Assuming auth alone solves multi-user architecture

This was one of those features that looked simple from the UI side but completely changed the backend architecture.

Kirat said shoot your shot. So I did.

Guess I'll never be ready, but that shouldn't stop me.

Time is your scarcest resource.

Normal People by Sally Rooney.

Beautiful character writing, Story feels more natural and real.

Overall I would give this book 7.8 out of 10...

Looking forward to Intermezzo and Conversations with Friends by the author.

[Dhanush @dhanushdotcodes]

Inaam got an upgrade,

new colour theme,
better components and there consistency,
small bugs and fixes...

looks really better now, looking forward to few other feature such as "bonus points, how to handle repetitive tasks"

[Dhanush @dhanushdotcodes]

I find these transaction history feature pretty cool!!!

Give me an idea of points I burned and points I earned.

[Dhanush @dhanushdotcodes]

We have to do so much of reading nowadays dude.
