Inspiration
While I was just a wee boy, I had a dream to tell the fortunes of everyone who asked. This website does it for me.
What it does
The User logs in and gets a fortune. They then have the option to sign up to receive daily text messages with a fortune to liven up their day.
How I built it
I created a React Web App implementing Authentication and Subscriptions with MongoDB. I also created a node.js backend that accepts REST api requests.
Challenges I ran into
A large challenge was getting the Domain.com domain to work correctly. However, this task was mute compared to debugging a CORS http error in which the issue wasn't even with CORS at all but the fact that I am using a trial version of Twilio which limits the numbers that I can text.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Getting the middleware working between the frontend and backend.
What I learned
MongoDB is easier to work with than I first imagined. It has a lot of great features built in.
What's next for Fortune Teller
Fortune Teller will take over the world.
