MATCHMAKER-Dating-Website

MatchMaker Dating Website is a web application that combines a React frontend with a Node.js Express.js backend. The platform provides users with the tools to create profiles, search for potential partners based on various criteria, and engage in communication to foster connections and potentially find love.

Deployment

This project is deployed in a distributed manner:

• Frontend: The frontend is hosted on Vercel and accessible at makermatch.online.
