The Third Front is a web application delivering lighthearted, humorous satire news posts. Built with the Vite + React.js frontend and a custom Node.js + Express backend, it was my hands-on introduction to React, Node.js, Tailwind CSS, and modern web development.

Tech Stack
  • Frontend: Vite.js, React.js, Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Node.js, Express
  • Database: MongoDB
What did I learn from this project
  • Pretty much everything, be it how to link the client to the server API.
  • Handling API calls between client and the server.
  • Creating a REST API for handling, managing the data.
  • To developing a full-fledged, cross-compatible client application
  • Integrating database, and then storing and retrieve the data from the database.
  • Basic deployment of the APIs on the PaaS

Since it was the first application where I had to develop and link everything from the ground up, it took a lot of time — I mean, a lot of time — to complete. My friend and I worked on it for months, continuously implementing things as we learned.
