Building this app taught me a lot. Like using ngrok so that you don't get the network error. I used React Native, Firebase and NodeJS for this project with an AI API.
Building out the mobile app was pretty fun. Faced some challenges like network request error due to localhost not working on an android emulator. So I had to use @ngrokHQ to communicate with the backend API since it was running on localhost:8000. #buildinpublic
So I managed to change my backend code for the background remover application. In this video I show how all you need is a URL link for an image you want to remove the background. The API accepts the link and returns a new image with all the links and metadata.
This is how the #frontend is going to communicate with the backend and database. A long URL is sent to the server and a short URL is returned to the user after doing some magic on the #backend side. #buildinpublic#coding
Building a URL shortener web application using ReactJS, NodeJS and Firebase. The FERN stack I call it >lol<😂. Building it because I always wondered how URL shorten services work.
