Hi Yuri, thanks for sharing it. I was looking for something to build today✨🎉!

I just would like to point out that the api key will be visible after you run:

yarn build

And it can be found on Dev tools.

Thank you for reading! That's why i made the important distinction on keeping your api keys on the back end instead:] it's really easy to figure them out when you know how to look. I really hope you had fun building it!

Yuri, you should take a look at environment-variables on CRA docs

I'm not able to explain it here, but it seems a back-end is needed to really "hidden" your secret api keys.

I hope I could help somehow.
