RateYourStyle
a fashion community for all of your style inspo needs
So stoked to have a user!!! I know I know, maybe not that exciting for some since RateYourStyle is free to use, and so the user is not a paying customer per se. Nonetheless, having a complete stranger post on a website I created feels pretty cool and helps validate what I'm trying to build.
I originally started RateYourStyle to have a project to practice a new frontend framework with - astroJS. But the more I thought about the idea behind RateYourStyle, the more excited I became and learning astro was taking too long. So I went with the tools I already know well - which is NextJS/React and GoLang for the backend. I built an MVP in about a week.
The final tech stack I went with for RateYourStyle:
- GoLang (server)
- NextJS (frontend framework)
- Data is being stored as JSON files in GCS and indexed in-memory via the server 😂 (using an unconventional data store but I'm really enjoying the flexibility. might come back to bite later but for now, loving it)
- Deployed via Google Cloud Run
- Version controlled via Git

congrats on your first user. I was curious about what led you to come up with this data store solution? was it that your deployment was using GCP and GCS could be tied up with it quickly?
