hardhat
Hardhat is a development environment to compile, deploy, test, and debug your Ethereum software.
For me it was very cool to learn how to write code for a worldwide super computer. Solidity is a nice language and as a Typescript developer like me you feel comfortable very fast. But there is one thing that is very scary to me: When the smart contract is deployed to the blockchain it will be there forever and you can't change it anymore. As a developer this seems to be like a nightmare 👻. You have to be really really sure that the stuff you write will work. You have to test it very well. Imagine your NFT project is super sucessful, you earned a shitload of money and then you want to withdraw it and BOOOM -> contract error <- ARRRGGHHHHHH. To solve this problem you could either use code that is battle tested like [the openzepplin contracts(https://openzeppelin.com/contracts/) or write unit tests to check the functionallity of your custom code. The final contract you can find here: Ethercan contract
This part is pretty easy for a web developer. You can use the framework of your choice and then you just have to learn the api of ether.js to build a web3 site that can interact with the smart contract.
When i started the project i used hardhat and alchemy to develop, test and deploy. Deployments to the rinkeby testnet were always easy and fast, so let's change the credentials and deploy to the mainnet.
