gRPC API Server of the static personal website for Christopher Scholz, which is build with Tonic.

Personal Multi-Page-Website with client server separation using a gRPC-web API for Christopher Scholz build with Tonic.

• grpc-web Client: Express, React, ReactRouter, grpc-web to create the different pages
• gRPC-web Server: Tonic, Tonic-Web which sets up gRPC-web over http/1.1

The app can be run locally or via docker.

• protobuf-javascript generator @3ff6090 https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf-javascript/tree/3ff6090f139d71453062fb96c66e9aff801709c2
