We used: express, javascript, node.js, psql, elephant sql, google distance matrix api, jest with supertest, render, react, auth0
Most of them were things we have used and wanted to expand our understanding. We wanted to make use of a public api and the google maps option seemed user-friendly. Auth0 was a way to handle logins in a way we hadn't seen before.
Challenges Faced
We wanted to use socket.io to handle messaging but we all struggled in getting our understanding to a level we could use in the time. We also wanted to use Cypress for front end testing and didn't use it was much as we would have liked.
