March 31, 2021 Finished MVP

It took a long time, but I'm finally finishing building the minimum viable product for Thenavigo. I've been working most of the night during my daytime engineering degree completion period now and on weekends, and I've been coding everything with the MERN stack (MongoDB - Express - React JS - Node JS) since that's the language I'm most comfortable with. In retrospect, there are a few features I built that probably could have waited until later. But I can't wait to start talking to customers and see what they think of the product so far!

    Congrats on finishing man. I run into the same issue of adding too many features. Mainly because the majority of the time I begin building products for myself. Glad you got it out the door!

      Thank you @swebdev, I don't have a Mac computer, so how can I solve this problem from my Windows PC ?

        Don't think it's OS problem. You can try resizing your window and you should see the issue.

        Regarding "how can I solve it" part - it's a problem with your bootstrap grid, specifically this line - <div class="col col-xl-5 col-lg-5 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12" style="m ....

          I'm a technical founder so I think we have very similar skill sets, you may be better off with a non-technical co-founder. Hope you find what you are looking for and all the best for the future.

            Thank you, I continue my research.

        Hello, Thank you - I just made a modification on this div how is the rendering now?

        1. 1

          It's much better, still an issue ~806px width but not sure if that is a frequent device width. You might just be better off putting a min left padding/margin over a certain device width.

            Hello @domocrosby Thank you, I'm editing this in the evening.

        Thank you

          This shouldn't be a device specific issue, you can download Brave or Chrome for Windows and check the console. Easiest way to check different devices is to move the console window to the right hand side and then resize this to resize the main window. DM me if this isn't descriptive enough.

    Great job @patbi Just took a look at the site. One thing you might add is a favicon other than reacts default. Keep up the good work!

        Thanks for reaching out, but I am also a technical founder. Don't give up though.

        Also, ask yourself is a co-founder really what you need at this point?

        1. 1

          Hello @ryanb58, Thank you. Yea, this is also a possibility
