Deploy on CodeSandbox

1. Log in or register on CodeSandbox - Sign in
2. Return to the express-guest-list-api-memory-data-store GitHub repository and add box between github and .com in the URL (githubbox.com instead of github.com) - this creates a synced template on CodeSandbox
3. Click on "Fork" at the top right of the page - this creates a devbox in your account from the synced template
4. Beside "Fork", click "Share", select "Public" from the "Visibility" dropdown and click "Move Devbox" - this allows everybody read access to your devbox

The API can be accessed at the URL in the preview pane on the right (URL ends with csb.app).
