This repo also uses CD with Heroku. You can view the deployment of this app at https://lifesportswebsite.herokuapp.com

FDD and ERD are in ./work

This repo contains a MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, NodeJS) application that tracks users and their exercise routines.

To see this application in action, check out it out on Heroku: https://lifesportswebsite.herokuapp.com/
