Happy to answer questions about this project!

I've been using this project as a way to play with tech I don't typically use day-to-day in my paid work.

It's gone through a bunch of iterations. It started almost entirely on AWS serverless services (Lambda, Dynamo, etc). That ended up being ridiculously expensive for this use case, so now it's a boring Go app on a cheap VPS talking to Postgres.

The mobile app has also gone through some iterations, starting as a wrapper around a web app (CapacitorJS), and is now using React Native instead.

I work for a company that solves this problem. If you're interested check out my profile or hit me up! We may be even cheaper than your VPS (and certainly more reliable).
