Wow, I have nothing to show for it yet, but feel like I've come a long way with my coding journey, atleast one goal has been reached, that I can officially call myself a Full Stack developer, well a crappy one, but none the less, fullstack!
The app is coming along nicely, decided against all the hype of server side and just deploying a Single Page Application.
Also decided to roll my own Auth from scratch the hard way.
Yes I know there are countless tools out there like firebase and auth0, but they get quite expensive when they scale, and calling more third party API's is just another point of failure.
Firebase is vendor lock-in, so decided to stay away especially when googleapis are blocked in China, oh and who knows when firebase will be RIP as google does with their other products all too often.
