Why this project?

• This project was created by Mohamad Tarhini
• Since this was a very popular project and many people are using it for their own purposes but unfortunately, we can not able to access the web application. So I decided to host this project on my own.
• Heroku is no longer free for hosting NodeJs applications. So I decided to host this popular cheatsheet maker on Vercel.
• Also, I mentioned client repository link above. If you want to contribute to the client side of the project, you can do that there.

Environment variables

• After creating a mongoDB cluster, assign the connection string to the variable dbURI in .env (create the file if not already present) of the main directory.

• You will also need to assign a value for the variable jwtSecret in .env which is needed by jsonwebtoken used for generating web tokens.
