m u c h h o n o r ! ! !

However, you know as well as I - there is always a better way.
For MF.v2, might i suggest the following tech stack:

decentralized db: gun.js.org (see ex. https://gitter.im/amark/gun)
javascript framework: svelte.dev
css: tailwindcss.com
fck.amazon: akash.network
filestorage (for embedded images/nfts/etc): arweave.org
blockchain: get'em all buddy;)
