Future plans 💭

This app is still in active development, here are some ideas I'm working on:

• Leaderboard functionality
• Tutorial to improve UX
• Test both back-end and front-end

Tech Stack 🛠

Front end built with Typescript, React, and Sass. State management done with Rxjs, authentication with Firebase. Animations with GSAP and sounds with Howler.js. Deployed on Netlify.

Back end written in Typescript, powered by socket.io living on an Express server. Data is handed to a mongoose model and stored in a MongoDB database. Deployed via Heroku.

Contributing 🤝

To start the development server install MongoDB before executing these commands:

$ cd server
$ cp .env.example .env
$ npm install
$ npm run dev

You can also use Mongo Atlas and change the connection string in .env. 💡

To start the client first get the API keys from Firebase console and then run:

$ cd client
$ cp .env.example .env
$ npm install
$ npm start

Happy hacking and remember: PRs are welcome! 😄
