The same project prompt as Dongle. A group project assigned from General Assembly, with the prompt as:
Build an app to build a website! Your app must allow non-technical users to write blog posts and pages for the site. When a visitor visits your site, they should see content. When a user logs in, they should see a dashboard that lets them create and edit new posts or pages.
I wanted to take a fresh, individual approach to the group project without altering the finished project which my group delivered. So, I made a brand new client using React and Semantic UI (only minor changes were made to the API).
Also, I wanted to change the name.
- React.js
- Semantic UI
- CSS
- Express.js
- Mongoose
- MongoDB
The most notable improvement I would make with another iteration of this project is to make the Pages more robust. With the original time allotted, we needed to keep the scope of the project very small. Although the prompt was clearly hinting at making a WordPress-y application, 4 days simply was not enough time to allow users to create fully customizable static pages. If I were to dive back into Express, I could add more sections for pages in the database, permitting color selections, navbars and img uploads to name a few.
