Wagster App - Backend repository. Built using Rails 6 configured in API-only mode.

Wagster

A full stack web application that allows dog owners to find potential dog buddies for their dogs.

Hosted live on Heroku - https://wagster.herokuapp.com.

• Built using React.js on the frontend - GitHub Repo
• Built using Rails API on the backend - GitHub Repo

Please Note:

• Heroku instance might be idle, it may take 10-15 seconds to load the app whilst the frontend server wakes up, and another 10-15 seconds on the first login or registration form submit whilst the backend server wakes up.
• Currently only optimised for mobile, images will appear stretched on desktop.
