Story

I really wanted to try having at least one cloud hosted project, so I challenged myself to make this in a single day. Unfortunately, it took 2 days to finish. However, I learnt a lot since it was the first time I ever used golang/MongoDB/google cloud/github actions in a new project. Also Bootstrap 5 was quite cool.
