Deployment

  2. Heroku for back-end hosting

Background

I am always curious to know what all things happen in space some facts about space, some newborn stars, planets, black hole, etc ... So I thought lets create one kind of forum where anyone who loves about space would share his/her knowledge with the world.
And finally, I created this Space Talks.

How I built it

Yes while working with MongoDB Atlas I got to know about how to integrate MongoDB with my react application from making simple react app to creating fully functional MERN Application.

Additional Resources/Info

  1. Reactjs Docs
  2. MongoDB
  3. MUI

This looks really nice. However, it's a bit surprising that a request to fetch posts returns almost 19MB of data.

I think the main reason is that you embed images in base64 in the JSON response instead of returning links to them (selectedFile field).
