Hi Everyone, I'm Smakosh and I spent 24 hours coding my REST api, React app and a Gatsby site. Obviously this needs more improvements but here's a funny fact:

-Rest API is deployed on Heroku for free -Db is on mlab for free -React app is deployed on Netlify for free -Gatsby site is deployed on Netlify for free -Design made with Adobe XD for free -Illustrations from Undraw.co for free

Please slow down on my app hahaha, you know how Heroku crashes easily...

Cool project and design, kudos!

For a couple of tips as someone who uses Heroku, mlab (mongolab), etc:

- Something like https://cloudinary.com/ can automatically compress those images. Will speed up the load and make the project shine even more, since it is loading now a 1390px image in a 320px space.

- A redirect from the netlify.com to the main domain would also be a good idea.

Just purchased a domain name! https://beafapp.com
