A web app for integrating social media tools (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, more?) into one "news feed". Another planned feature will be the ability to filter content based on author, tags, or regular content search terms. The bulk of the work should be based on working through displaying the content cleanly and dynamically (with the help of AJAX through jQuery). Users shouldn't have to ever refresh the page. Ideally, users can use the app to save time opening different windows for social media. The app won't have ads and should be fast to use.
App is structured as such:
There are two HTML template files: index.ejs, and loggedinhome.ejs (.ejs == embedded javascript - essentially html with
the ability to be fed information from the Express server (node.js module)
server.js is the node.js server file that uses Express to route http requests and responses. At the moment, there is no db
component
a node.js-generated modules folder. Not to be touched. This is kept in the repo for eventual use with Heroku.
