• Growing a side-project to 100k Unique Visitors in one week

  For the backend, I opted for Airtable as a database. It's a simple, no-code solution that I've used before. It's not the most powerful database, but it's perfect for a project like this. I could easily add, edit, and delete records, and it has an embeddable form functionality that I used for user submissions. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

There has to be something to identify the record viewed from the page, if you see what I mean. Source: 8 months ago
