Radarlens
Creator: Delight Gbolahan Olu-Olagbuji
Radarlens is a location-based e-commerce web app built for small businesses.
It took me 12 months to deploy the current version of Radarlens, which is the most stable version. It took this long mostly because I had to learn some tech stacks as they were needed so as to integrate them into Radarlens. I initially deployed Radarlens to Heroku, then later redeployed it to AWS, then recently deployed it to render
