Thank.Codes

The online gratitude journal is my submission for the MongoDB Atlas Hackathon. I created this project to spread a little joy in the world as the world went into lockdown. Sometimes we need to remember what we have, and we need to be thankful for that. Thank.codes is a place for people to express themselves and thier gratitude.

Technologies Used

I used NodeJS for the backend with Express as a framework. I stored all the posts into MongoDB Atlas. I used Auth0 to work with logins and store users. I created a RESTful API to interact with the database and store new posts. This allowed my app to be single page. I used EJS in the frontend to display posts with ease. I used JQuery to make API calls. The API's routes are /api for displaying all posts and /api/:id to find posts by thier MongoDB id.
