Background

Well, if you haven't already guessed, I love pizza. That's it that's the story....๐Ÿ˜‚. I built this app because it was a creative spin on an e-commerce application. Building Midas taught me a lot about the kinds of things that really need to be considered before putting out these kinds of applications, such as, making sure the prices are always correctly displayed, preferring to use totals from the server rather than the client when making any form of payment to avoid certain bad actors, and reconfirming the user's action through helpful prompts and micro-interactions. Also, wouldn't it be nice if dominos had UI and UX like this, just saying๐Ÿ‘€

How I built it

I connected my GitHub account to Digital Ocean. That way it was a smooth transition to building the application using Digital Ocean's App platform. The frontend was written in React, animations with framer-motion and global state management with recoil. The backend was done in Nodejs. Code was written in VSCode and hosted on Github
