About the Guide
Rick and Morty Explorer is an English-language fan project for browsing characters, episodes, and locations from the series with fast search, linked detail pages, and a production-ready Next.js stack.
Project Background
Built by Algis Bernatovics, this project is a rewrite of my earlier Rick and Morty coursework app from Codelex, where I started as a PHP developer.
The original PHP version began on May 7, 2023 and is publicly available on GitHub. This Next.js version rebuilds the same idea with a stronger frontend architecture, cleaner routing, better SEO, and a more polished user experience.
What Changed in the Rewrite
This rewrite moves the project from a PHP coursework foundation to a modern Next.js and TypeScript application with App Router, reusable components, responsive layouts, and a cleaner deployment workflow.
It also adds route metadata, structured SEO improvements, sitemap and robots support, and Google Analytics integration while keeping the Rick and Morty API as the core data source.
Special Thanks
