Would You Rather Project

React and Redux web app that lets a user play the "Would you Rather?" game.

A user is asked a question in the form: Would you rather [option A] or [option B] ?. Answering one of them. In the app, users will be able to answer questions, see which questions they haven’t answered, see how other people have voted, post questions, and see the ranking of users on the leaderboard.

The _DATA.js file represents a fake database and methods that let you access the data. So, app works with a pseudo backend server, there is no data persistence and hence, any new questions or answers will be lost by performing a browser refresh.
