In Development: HeirBnB Express / React Project

My first full stack project, inspired by the UI and backend of AirBnB.

I’ve reached the milestone of working on my first portfolio project with App Academy. I am building an API and UI inspired by the design of AirBnB.

When I am done with this project, users will be able to create an account to access the spot listings and book a stay, search the database to see the spots available, and see their reviews. Forever a storyteller, my seed data follows a Game of Thrones theme. All of the listings are for locations from the TV series, and all the seed users who have left reviews or booked stays are be characters from the show.

This is an exciting project for me because it is all about creating functionality from scratch. I’m mirroring something that exists already, but I’m doing it without specific instructions on how to get there. That’s incredibly empowering to feel equipped to do that with only a few months of programming education through App Academy. 

I will leverage Javascript as the main coding language, using the Express library for my server coding framework and Sequelize for translating my Javascript into SQL for creating and managing my database. I’ll share when it’s live!
