Hackathon Node.js Starter

Inspiration

I've wanted to build serverside apps for a while now, so learning Node.js was a natural extension of that learning

What it does

It does the base function of requesting information from the GitHub API with added HTML at the starting page

How I built it

I used Node.js to host, JavaScript for the backend, and HTML for the frontend

Challenges I ran into

I had a tough time authenticating the OAuth tokens

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Getting the Node.js server to run

What I learned

Node.js, server calls (GET and POST), and databasing with PostregSQL

What's next for Hackathon Node.js Starter

Improve the backend to limit crashing
