tag.it

About

tag.it is an innovative platform that connects students to teachers. This GitHub Respository contains all the source code to run the application.

All Code is seperated into backend and client code, in each their own respective folder.

The backend is written in Express.js and the frontend is written in React. We use Firebase as the database. For testing, we leverage the Mocha and Chai frameworks.

We have deployed the production version of tag.it using Netlify to run the static frontend and Heroku to host the backend api server.

You can checkout the live version of the app @ tagdotit.netlify.app
