3 years ago ya looks awesome! haha i like the user index page! i'd approach that by gradually building up complexity in small slices. are you still thinking of using gatsby or sticking with your full stack starter? if you're sticking with this full stack starter, i'd recommend starting a new repo so you have this launching point for future projects. gatsby would be cool but it'd be a little more work
assuming you still want to move forward with gatsby i'd recommend this approach but up to you:
- start with a minimal starter, making sure all that scaffolding, deps + node version is up to date
- add in a styling library (recommend bootstrap + styled-components)
- then ya i'd probably add each page by page and do mobile + desktop for each page at the same time. bootstrap has good responsive tooling like flex that should work for all your use cases but there's other options for responsive tools too like css grid if you need it
- authentication will be interesting too, there's a few ways you could do it
- you could use your same manual auth from your fullstack starter but then if you're not on heroku and on gatsby, it'll be a little different to integrate
- you could use netlify identity if you deploy to netlify which has a nice free tier and handles email notifications but since you want a custom login form, you'll have to do a little more work
- it's also been a little while since i looked into it so you could also do a little research and see if there are any other new decent options out there for easily integrating auth with a gatsby app

My buddy did a great job designing the front-end of this toy app.
How should I proceed? Adding the front end page by page? mobile or desktop first? Any suggestions?
