famo.us + marvel comics API = famous marvel characters

To Do:

  • add loader w/ animation (initial marvel api call takes about 600ms)
  • for now i've just cached the api call in firebase for demo purposes.
  • change image size request depending on avail. screen size
  • style the lightboxes & their animations
  • get some more interesting results into the lightboxes
    • wiki from marvel is so slow!! the api returns empty descriptions. i've emailed marvel about this.
    • short bio would be perfect
    • character image here too
    • alternative: comics, stories, events, etc. in graph relation
    • left or right scroll to next/prev lightbox
  • add character search box
  • add search results view
  • add favorites
  • add most viewed

after whitelisting your localhost and deploy domains with marvel:

-npm install -g grunt-cli bower

-npm install && bower install

-grunt serve

when you push to heroku, the Procfile runs server.js, which serves a compressed build version fron /dist
