An application that can be used to write and save notes. This uses an Express.js back end that will save and retrieve note data from a JSON file. You can use this for grocery lists, to-do lists, quick notes to look back at later or general reminders.
-
This needs to be run on your local machine
-
After cloning this repo down locally, make sure you have node and express downloaded
-
Then if you have nodemon installed you can run nodemon server.js or if you do not have nodemon, just node server.js and that should start up your server
-
Open a new tab on your web browser and type in "localhost:3001" and the application will be there
-
Add as many notes as you like!

I had a study group with Brian Whisler, Jeremy Rapich and Salvador Mejia on 9/3 where we went over Express.js and a bit of SQL.
Also had help from TA's CJ Sanders, Trever Oveson and Jacek Hacking, surprised to find out all I really needed to do was change a single line of code to get everything up and running!
