Tech stack:
YouChoose is built with the MERN stack(mongoDB, express.js, reaxt, and node.js) and Yelp's api. Using mongoDB, a nonrelational database to hold our users, as well as their favorite restaurants. We use express.js to make requests to the database and node.js to create the models and framework. React is used in the front end to deliver a responsive interface.
