Description

Frontend Tech

• reactjs as the main UI library.
• arwes-theme for the background UI theme. It's cool looking.

Backend Tech

• expressjs framework on top of the nodejs runtime.
• mongodb-atlas for the database.It's free and awesome.
• google-oauth-2.0 for authenticating users.

Deployment

I had deployed this using docker on a aws-ec2 instance.

Getting Started

Installing

• Since some of the above mentioned services requires test API and ID keys, please go ahead and signup for these accounts and get the keys.
• Rename the sample.env file to .env in the backend directory and add the test keys in it.

Dependencies

• Just run npm install in both the frontend and backend directories to install all the necessary dependancies.

Running the website locally

• Just run npm watch in the root directory to start the local development servers.

That's it. Have fun 😃
