This looks great! What stack is it built on? How long did it take you to build?

I'd love to learn about how you decided to build it, scoped out what features to build and cut, the whole behind-the-scenes. Pretty please! :D

Hey,

React.js for the UI and state management. Vercel for serverless hosting and easy deployments FFMPEG for stitching Node.js on the backend handling the rendering Prisma 2 as a ORM for database interaction GraphQL to perform operations on the data

This took me longer than anticipated about 11 months.

Let me know if you have any more questions happy to answer. You can DM me on twitter @michaelaubry
