Production host

🚨 Update 2023!

The production host which was initially hosted on heroku was moved to vercel due to the fact that heroku no longer supports free tier.

• Old domain: https://geek-quote-api.herokuapp.com/v1/quote(offline)
• New domain: https://geek-quote-api.vercel.app/v1/quote(online)

The Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is set to * so that you can make requests from any domain.
