revival

This project was originally developed by me in highschool in 2019 and 2020. While the code certainly is not the best, I am proud of the project as it was my first full-stack web application. I have since learned a lot about web development and have decided to revive the project in a way that stays true to the original as much as possible. The main changes in the revival were reconstructing the schema, integrating Docker, and removing SendGrid integration for verification codes.

nostalgia

I have a lot of nostalgia for this project. It was created at a point where all I used was raw PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and JQuery. No frameworks, no preprocessors, no package managers... such a simpler time.
