@oceanByte I made some progress but still haven't gotten signup working.

I'm pretty sure I needed to set up our own Google reCAPTCHA v3 for our onrender domain.

So I did this at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/site/514289692/settings:

And I put the site key into the REACT_APP_RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY of the frontend .env and the secret in the RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY of the API project .env and redeployed each.

(See 020915e)

But still, when I try to sign up at https://near-academy-frontend-tfyr.onrender.com/, I get error:

{"error":"Wrong re-captcha token"}

If you have suggestions about what to explore, I'd appreciate them.

Also interesting: https://near-academy-frontend-tfyr.onrender.com/sign-up (if I visit it directly) shows Not Found but if I visit https://near-academy-frontend-tfyr.onrender.com and then click Sign Up, the page loads fine. That direct route works fine at https://near.academy/sign-up (on your old server). I'm not sure yet what the root cause is.

Ahh, in the env variables at:
https://dashboard.render.com/static/srv-c8eg854objd6b711pkcg/env
https://dashboard.render.com/web/srv-c81d23rvog4kd0lhrqrg/env
I just changed the URLs to point to each other at the onrender domains rather than the production domains.

Then signup worked. I signed up as test_newRenderFE. Apparently the username then got stored as lowercase, so searching for {username:"test_newrenderfe"} at https://cloud.mongodb.com/v2/6202c6f76dc24766a87e17e3#metrics/replicaSet/6214f248b64d8728415f1b40/explorer/nearacademy/users/find found my user. 👏

And then I changed those env values back to use the production domain (https://near.academy and https://api.near.academy) to be ready for #17.
