# Friendlyy: A MERN Stack Web App for Social Connections

**Friendlyy** is a social connection platform built with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). The app allows users to create profiles, browse through other registered users' profiles in the form of "cards", and either **like** or **pass** them. A **connection** is established if the request sent is accepted by the other person.

Whether you're seeking new friendships, professional networking, or simply expanding your social circle, **Friendlyy** offers a fun and engaging way to discover like-minded people!
