Backend: NodeJS , ExpressJS, MongoLab

[artitudinale1]

Start to resource how this can be implemented.
Maybe use of http://www.clementinejs.com/ (just idea)
We need plan and resources and then break work in smaller issues

Some thoughts about breaking this down further:

• create server.js file to serve index.html with Express
• install mongo, and connect up with server.js
• migrate data from firebase to mongo
• add github oauth using Passport

From a front-end perspective this will mean that we need

• a login view
• a view to let a logged in user view and edit their own profile

I like it. Are we going for Mongo installation or MongoLab? https://mlab.com/

[chris-alexander]

Isn't MongoLab just a hosted instance of MongoDB? I think we'd probably use whatever Heroku lets you have on the free tier

I can help with some of this stuff, clementine has a user profile and github passport already set up.

[dlewis87]

Heroku has mongolabs

[artitudinale1]

mongolabs is just to avoid the headache to install MongoDB on local/server which is a pain in the ass.....but open to otherwise if you like the challenge

[chris-alexander]

Sounds good. I think we should make it Github OAuth only rather than Username and Password. It should mean less complexity and more security I hope :)

totally GitHub 4 the best!
