Sponsored by Algolia (https://lwj.dev/algolia) — What could you create if you had 30 minutes to plan and 4 hours to build? Sidney Buckner, Alex Trost, Shaundai Person, and Jason Lengstorf took on the Web Dev Challenge to find out.
*THE CHALLENGE*
_Build an e-commerce site… with a twist._ E-commerce makes the world go round, and we wanted to challenge the devs to shake up the standard e-comm approaches with something different.
*THE TOOL*
Apps must use Algolia (https://lwj.dev/algolia) as part of the build. Algolia provides solutions for quickly adding search, recommendations, and more to web apps with pre-built components, fast responses, and painless integration. #webdevelopment #challenge #javascript #ecommerce #reactjs #typescript #css
