Over the 2024-2025 winter break I took an interest in React, and learned the basics with Scrimba. This spin on Worlde uses Tagalog-language words of lengths 6 and 8 letters. It answers the needs of one user: my dad!
The app is rendered client side, as React is generally used for. The frontend makes queries to a REST API, implemented with FastAPI, which in turn talks to a PostgreSQL database.
The frontend, API, and relational DB are all hosted on Vercel's free tier. Between this and my other apps, I think I am noticing that whatever apps I host on Vercel, the first response in a session is a bit slow, and then it seems to "wake up" afterward.
