Great post. Very interesting for learning some new tools as novu and socket.io
Check that you've written the next code:

//👇🏻 In server/package.json"
scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "nodemon index.js"
  }

The first double quote should be on the second line instead of being on the first one

I do, there are just some things I have a hard time loving.

The hooks are a hack to solve bad overall design they cannot change now, I never will learn to love jsx/tsx, it just invites script kiddie code.
Having to resort to ugly hacks like "className" is horrible etc.

I love NextJS but not React I must admit. I love observables and once you embrace the reactive way with rxjs, it's so hard to go back to oldfashioned promises. Oh well, enough negativity lol. Have a great weekend everybody
