I built a web app for finding cheap wings near you. It allows you to sort by city, price, distance, or by the best wings. Give it a shot the next time you’re looking for a cheap eat!

Under the hood, I’m using AngularJS and SCSS to render the front-end. It goes through GulpJS to create production (minified) files as well as enabling live reload on both front-end and back-end (running on the same instance). The back-end is written in NodeJS (using Express to handle server portion) and utilizes a REST API. For a database, I decided to use MongoDB.

The hosting is being provided by DigitalOcean. For this project, I created a basic Linux server and manually implemented NodeJS, Mongo, Git, and NGINX. This allowed me to test my bash skills and learn how a server is set up at a lower level.

The main objectives of this application were to learn AngularJS as well as to dabble with writing NodeJS.
