General info

This project is a MERN application. It is created as a graduation project of HackYourFuture. As a 5-person dev team, we built this application to combine what we learned in HackYourFuture's intensive 8-month course on wep development. Over the course of eight months professional developers teach HTML, CSS, JS, Node, React.js and MySQL. In addition, problem-solving skills and team work are emphasized throughout the curriculum.
