Haven't Updated but so much has been done!

Wow so much has happened in the past few months and we have been really busy.

The fun stuff first. We are about to launch to family and friends to test and use a very light version of our product!

Right now we aren't fully-featured and not quite to the point where we can call it an MVP but we do have a nice social-blogging system worked out and want to share that system with a small group to test out.

The Tech Stuff: we have had to make some hard decisions in January when we realized the backend we were building using NodeJS and Mongo was just not getting us where we needed to be fast enough. We ended up pausing on backend work for a few days and did some research. Ultimately we decided to make a major change to Hasura and Postgres for our backend and database, at the same time we had also moved from AWS to Digitalocean.

All of these decisions have already paid off greatly. The move to Digitalocean was a breeze and made launching our app incredibly easier. The move to Hasura for all of our CRUD functionality was even easier we rebuilt our full back-end plus new functionality in one day.

At this point, we are very happy with all of the tech we are using and feel very positive about the product we are about to deliver.
