Reddit Clone 🤡

A reddit clone using the MERN stack.

I built this by following this wonderful tutorial.

Steps to run

1. Run npm install inside the /client and /server folders
2. Create an .env file under the /server folder and set 2 environment variables: PORT = 5000 and CONNECTION_URL = <YOUR_CONNECTION_URL>
   • Example connection URL = mongodb+srv://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@cluster0.bccoe.mongodb.net/<DB_NAME>?retryWrites=true&w=majority
3. Run npm start inside the /server folder
4. Run npm start inside the /client folder
