Cryptid Keeper https://cryptid-keeper.herokuapp.com/
A express app for hosting details of paranormal encounters/entities and commenting on them. People can create new entries and they will be displayed on approval by a user with admin permissions. Users can register and the comments will autofill their name. Otherwise it will default to anonmyous. The app has a search bar and will query by either name or tags.
The app has full CRUD functionality. It was built using Node.js, Mongoose, Express, and EJS.
Unsolved Problems
Having certain elements only appear to logged on users. I spent a fair bit trying out different methods before I ditched it to focus on more important things.

Sub pages for individual posts by users that are shown on the entries page with their own discussion section.
