I would like to give credit to my bootcamp tutor, Jeyyun Jung, he helped me fix a few bugs and also helped me getting started on deploying the website. I would also like to give credit to randiferous on Github, this is mostly his code and it gave me a great understandong of how to work with a MERN application.
