This MERN app allows users to answer few questions and finally be able to know about their feelings. It uses MongoDB as the database to store questions and answers, Express.js for handling server-side logic, React.js for building the user interface, and Node.js for server-side runtime environment. The app provides a seamless experience for users to finally know if they are gay or not.
