It's the framework I'm most familiar with. As it was intended to be a personal project I just chose it because it was the easiest way for me to build it.
In Ireland we're still locked down to within 5km of our homes, you have to work from home, not allowed to meet socially, no restaurants, shops or gyms, police fines are in force for breaking the rules
Those are some harsh restrictions indeed, given that Ireland seems like a country where you live life to it's fullest, it's an almost unreal level of restrictions.
As a comparison Denmark and Ireland have almost identical number of vaccinations and population, so it seems like Ireland is being way too cautious.
