Beaf
The community platform for making decisions.
Going to shutdown
@beafappdotcom
by the end of this week, so I made a video about:
- Why I built it and why I've decided to shut it down
- How I built it in less than 24 hours and what tech stack I used
- How it works!

Life is full of choices, every day you have to make a choice wether it was right or wrong, some impact our life & the people around us, either negatively or positively, but as Peter Parker once said
"it's the choices that makes us who we are and we can always choose to do what's right"
That's why I made Beaf
Beaf is a community platform to help each other take the right decisions
- You can ask for help in making a decision
- Track your previous decisions
- Contribute in helping others take the right decisions
So take the right decision right now & join Beaf: https://beafapp.com
Let's make the world take the right decisions.

I migrated from Heroku to DO.
Built the first iteration in 24 hours and live streamed it on Twitch, available in low quality on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tw8Gn16fJM&list=PLT9g4Q9oGxhBiflqRWQF6no8DYj1lQoKd
MERN Stack
Landing page uses Gatsby, very similar to my portfolio starter on GitHub: https://github.com/smakosh/gatsby-portfolio-dev
React app bootstrapped using my own personal boilerplate which is based on CRA: https://github.com/smakosh/personal-react-app-boilerplate
Rest API bootstrapped using my own personal express Rest API boilerplate: https://github.com/smakosh/rest-api-boilerplate-v2
For deployment:
- I deployed both the landing page & the React app on Netlify
- And the API on Heroku
