We used Next.js for our front-end side, and planned to use MongoDB for our back-end. A sponsor technology we used was WorldCoin, which we used as one of our options for sign-up/login for accounts' authorizations, to be used to invest into the artists. This was pieced together by sweat and tears and lots of chips and candy.
