Libraries used

I have used as Ben Awad likes to calls it: The Hypebeast Stack (React, Typescript, Node.js, GraphQL)

• React the love of my life
• GraphQL because REST APIS are boring
• apollo-server-express as server
• MongoDB for persistance of data
• GraphQL Subscriptions for realtime communication and chat system
• Ant Design for creating UI
• Apollo Client for client state management
• Typescript for type safety, cure for headache you get when props are flowing all over the app with no hint
• Stripe for handling payments
• Cloudinary for image uploads
• Mapbox for showing maps
