🛠 Built with

The API system is made using Express, a lightweight Nodejs library. The data is saved on a NoSQL MongoDB database. To welcome the user after signup, we send an email using the Sendgrid service. For the security and privacy of the user, we use bcrypt to hash the user’s password in the database, and session authentication is done via JSON web tokens.
