A realtime, full-stack React app with a GraphQL Server (Apollo Server 2) on the backend, a cloud MongoDB database with React Hooks to manage our state (replacing Redux!), with Social Authentication (Google OAuth2), realtime data with GraphQL Subscriptions, image uploads with Cloudinary and much more.
