Inspiration

my old school forum website i wonder if there's someone hiding the secret forum behind it I thought it's a good idea so I make it

What it does

player need to find the secret key in the article and use it to access the truth behind the article everyone can participate and create their own secret article their own puzzle hints and secret!

potentials of it is leting everyone create their own puzzles keys & secrets in a simple manner make a post request or just easily do it in the article creator it's a communities driven puzzle article!

How I built it

design and create the font end with ejs and css using the express js to create get route for index and secret page and get data from mongou db using mongoose and send with ejs to send the article data / article cards to the front end and post request route create with express and article create page with jquarry and send it to db with mongoose

Challenges I ran into

first I thinking about using the MySQL db that I'm familiar with but I decided to get out of my comfort zone and use mongo db instead the mongo db database is pretty new to me so trying to get my way around it there's many syntax error when I try to use it with other tech stack but google and StackOverflow research experience help me past it yet again, the second trouble is post requests that I'm not familiar with to create the database but thankfully it's actually easy and being a major point in my project so there's nothing much to mention The real hard process is the to manage the get request and make the page load correctly like the forum cards that actually need one block (cards) for each article which can always be added so I made a function to generate article cards html with EJS + nodejs for each article in database then send HTML to the front page even if there's 1k of it, this function I'll still works well so it's the real breakpoint of this project after this everything went smoothly

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

well the idea

What I learned

mongo db database more of ejs html editor api jquary and post requst post request and forum API!!

What's next for Untitled

there's nothing in mind yet but for this project maybe more option to hide a key
