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
