Background

I decided to push my knowledge of UI/UX design, databases, and programming in general by building a clone for a major brand. I gave it some thought, and I settled on building a Tinder clone.

How I built it

As mentioned in the intro, I built it mainly using React, MUI, and Redux for the client, and FastAPI, ODMantic, MongoDB Atlas for the server. I learned a ton about, including but not limited to, React, MUI, Redux, FastAPI, and MongoDB Atlas and how to model data in the NoSQL world. For instance, the following is a set of collections that demonstrate how the data was modeled and stored in the database.


Database Collections.

The following is a high overview of the server architecture, and how the components are interconnected.
