This is a really nice writeup. Thank you for this. I am looking into learning more about this space and debating between a voice service like Agora / Tokbox vs rolling my own to learn. I would love to see a technical blog post on your stack!

If someone sets out to build a Goodreads competitor, what's everyone's suggestion on how to aggregate book / ISBN / poster reference data? Google Books API comes to mind but I am wondering if there is a self-hosted solution.

thanks for the link. I long for the day where I can single click and have Flask/ReactJS boilerplate setup with functional public www and local dev environment setup. I only want to focus on business logic. Sorta like Heroku on steroid? (read: I would pay for that)
This is amazing. It would be great to have a README section. I am bookmarking this as my template/boilerplate for starting up new Django projects :)
