(node:782) DeprecationWarning: `open()` is deprecated in mongoose >= 4.11.0, use `openUri()` instead, or set the `useMongoClient` option if using `connect()` or `createConnection()`. See http://mongoosejs.com/docs/4.x/docs/connections.html#use-mongo-client

Hi @geoffreyirungu from those errors it looks like your project’s trying to connect to a MongoDB instance running locally. I think most folks who do this exercise on Glitch use a Mongo Atlas database from their free tier, since Glitch doesn’t expose the port that Mongo uses to the internet.

I think you’ll find a few examples that might help you get started at https://glitch.com/search?q=exercise-tracker
