Tech stack question -

Incredible website that is both feature rich and succinct to the content. As far as marketplaces go, there are some known platforms (e.g. ShareTribe) and payment options (e.g. Stripe Connect) - did you all "build" from the ground up or "buy" in putting this together?

Thank you! We're makers, so we built it.

Here's the stack:

- React & redux on the front end

- Rails on the back end

- Postgres & redis for persistence

- Stripe (including Connect) for payments

(edited for line breaks)

The bespoke nature shines through in all the best ways. Thanks!
