Good one but too much using frameworks and libraries should be avoided.

[@festusishioma5096]

If anyone encounter the "404 page not found" error after completing the video, try checking your server.go file and under the function you created for group routes replace all the case excecution from gs.engine.GET(path, handler) to group.GET(route.Path, route.Handler). I think the video did not cover the part where he debugged that issue

[@TechEducationWithSilasOgar]

Thanks for the keen observation, it was captured right after the second to the last timeline. (1:54:47)

@@TechEducationWithSilasOgar ooh that's true, I was the one that wasn't observant there. My bad network made me watch it on 480p
