I've been building this product for a while. Even though there aren't any loading indicators, I think it's still good enough to get out there!

I've used this project as a test bed for learning new technologies. And what did I learn? That using Docker and Kubernetes effectively is harder than I thought it would be.

Some maybe interesting things about the technology used:

  * It's almost 100% TypeScript
  * What's not TypeScript is plpgsql
  * Postgres
  * Nodejs
  * Docker
  * Deployed to a Kubernetes cluster
  * React on the frontend
  * React also renders HTML on the backend (for the PDF generation and emails too)
