I started this project back then in 2016 using only server side technologies. The code was a little bit messy as I majorly wrote it in ES5 during my NodeJS beginner days. Though I have refactored the project to match some standard in ES6, I think is time I rewrite everything with the present day technologies. Hence, watch out for the version of this project in ReacJS and RESTful API based on NodeJS.
- I appreciate, but I rarely work on this anymore unless to fix bug and do some refactoring. I will rather have you joining me on the React version of this project.
