This is the project from Academind's awesome MERN Stack course. During the course, I learned how to build a fully-featured full stack app using Node.js, Express, React and MongoDB. This course helped me learn the MERN stack in a fun and efficient manner. I personally rate it 10/10, and recommend it to anyone who wants to get started with MERN stack from zero and learn by doing.
After the course, I kept learning and applying my new skills to this project. Here is a summary:
- Moved from Create-React-App to Vite
- Integrated TypeScript and Sass
- Added new components and improved existing ones
- Use TypeScript for backend as well
- Integrate a geocoding service; use real coordinates of the given address instead of random coordinates
- Group SCSS classes by prefixing them with a letter ("b" for block, "u" for utility, etc.)
Before releasing this project, I got permission from Academind via e-mail.
Special thanks to the tutors, Max and Manuel, for being a part of my growing journey and making this possible!
