What I learned

This is my first deployed fullstack application using the MERN stack. As I progressed with this application, I find myself improving a lot and also learnt how to avoid specific mistakes and debug my app better. I believe this project has made it easier for me to make full stack applications better and faster.

Useful resources

• Lama Dev - If you want to create any MERN stack project, lama dev is the place to start from.
• Dribble - Most of the inspiration for designing this website came from here. Be sure to check it out.
• Logrocket - I used this to understand better login, logout and registration process.
• Unsplash - This site is an endless reservior of images. I used this for my product images, using google image to find the names of the sneakers in the images.
• Stack Overflow - As always, stackoverflow is the place I go whenever I need any help.
