# rfd-fyi

This repository provides a simple, less-distracting overlay for hot deals posted on https://forums.redflagdeals.com.

The frontend is made with Vue 3 and the backend is written in Go. The backend exists for caching purposes; to prevent excessive requests to RedFlagDeals itself.

It is hosted at [rfd.fyi](https://rfd.fyi).

## Environment Variables
