Background

Whenever i build something, the database is always empty and it can be time-consuming to come up with random bits of data just to populate and run tests!

How I built it

DO's app platform is very well documented and by following thru the documents, i managed to get things working as expected! However, i did hit a bug when i was in the inital state of tinkering, when pushing to main branch did not trigger any app builds. I tried manual deployment, it did not work. I ended up creating a fresh repo and fresh app, and all is good.

Additional Resources/Info

The pre-generated pools of data are as listed in the repo README file.
