Inspiration

I wanted to play Codenames with some friends online that I can't see because of the lockdowns. I wasn't happy with the current online versions and thought it would be a good challenge to make my own version.

What it does

Allows you to play the famous Codenames game in your browser.

How I built it

It was built in a week with Node.js, GraphQL, Docker, MongoDB, Next.js, React.js and Apollo.

Challenges I ran into

Deploying the server with Docker was difficult. Making sure the MongoDB instance was secure proved to be a challenge.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

First deployment of an application using Docker. I'm also proud that it only took a week.

What I learned

  1. I can make something cool of I stick with it. 2.Docker makes deployments smooth of you know what you're doing.
