.Bricolli

Introduction

In this project, we will build a Fiverr clone using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) and GraphQL. Fiverr is a popular online marketplace connecting freelancers and clients. By creating this clone, we will gain hands-on experience with backend and frontend development using the MERN stack, while leveraging GraphQL for efficient data retrieval and manipulation.

What is a PWA?

Progressive web applications (PWAs) are web applications with practical improvements that allow them to work like desktop or mobile apps. PWAs offer features such as offline functionality, an app-like interface, push notifications, and the ability to be installed on the user's device.

• Create and manage your profile
• Browse and search for services
• Place orders
• Message and communicate with freelancers
• Leave reviews and ratings
• Offline functionality for uninterrupted usage
• Install the application on your device for quick access
