Express & React todo app

I started learning backend development recently so I decided to build a simple todo app with Express, to get my head around the basic concepts.

This was when I no longer felt the need to continue learning new frontend techniques and to dive a bit into the infrastructure side of things.

Features (so far):

  • Authentication, Oauth
  • RESTful apis built entirely with Express to handle CRUD functionality and database interactions

Usage:

  • Clone the repo
  • TBD…

Tech Stack:

  • Reactjs
  • Shadcn
  • Express
  • Postgres
  • Drizzle ORM

What I learned building this project:

  • Linking Frontend and Backend
  • How low level authentication works
  • Linking a backend to a database
  • What a reverse proxy is
  • General REST apis structure and functionality
  • TBD…
