Pretty sweet! The icons look pretty nice and the draggable feature is super smooth :D

I'm learning React and the MERN stack right now. What technologies did you use to make this? How will you set up user authentication? Are you using Firebase?

Thanks :-)

Thanks! I found the icons on svgrep.com.

The demo and landing page are built with React and hosted on Heroku. That's the only way I know at the moment to deploy a React app, I haven't tried Firebase so far :).
If you are learning React I highly recommend fullstackopen.com. They also explain how to deploy a React app to Heroku. If you have any questions about it, let me know!

Apart from the two libraries mentioned in the post I only used React Router, so that the url changes when you switch between Home and Try the Demo.

I am planning to use Auth0 for authentication. It's free up to 7.000 users and easy to set up. They have a sample app for React that you can download and play with. Again, if you have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks for the advice and resources. I’m actually using Firebase to deploy the Frontend and heroic for the API/backend. It works pretty well.

Best of wishes!
