FitNest

FitNest started out as a project during my Web Development Immersive (WDI) in General Assembly Singapore. It was originally meant as a fitness and nutrition tracker app and was built on a simple framework of Express on the Back End, React-Views for the Front-End and PostGreSQL as the database.

However, as I am a fitness enthusiast and attend (and lead) a few bootcamps regularly, I found that there was a better use for FitNest as a Bootcamp / Fitness Activity organizer. I decided to rebuild FitNest from scratch, with a new set of User Stories as well as a improved Tech Stack.

FitNest is currently built using React/Redux on the Front-End, GraphQL as the Query Language, and MongoDB for the database. It is currently deployed in production and is being used by the various fitness groups that I join for activity tracking and planning purposes.
