Based on an inside joke, the frontend uses React and the backend uses Node (via Express) and MongoDB to store the data.

Setup

First, set up a MongoDB database, then add your connection string as an environment variable:

export MONGO_URI=[YOUR MONGO DB URI]            # Mac/Linux
set MONGO_URI=[YOUR MONGO DB URI]               # Windows

Then proceed with the rest of the setup:

npm install                                     # install backend deps 
node scripts/mongo-setup.js                     # initialize DB

cd src/client           
npm install                                     # install frontend deps

Running the project

yarn dev                    # runs development server

yarn build                  # creates static assets (only needed for production)

Both commands should be executed from the project root.
