My team and I built Groupie Tracker during our apprenticeship at Zone01 Kisumu. It is a web app that shows live music artist data.

We wrote the entire backend in Go. We used only the Go standard library for this project.

How it works:

• The app pulls data from an external API.
• Our Go server fetches the data.
• The server decodes JSON into structs.
• The server sends the data to HTML templates.

The live search feature was the best part.

When you type in the search bar, JavaScript sends a request to our Go server. The server looks for matching artists. It sends JSON back to the page. The page updates without a reload.

This project taught us how client and server communicate.
