• Does anybody want to work on a programming project together?

  I'm a little rusty as I've been on disability for 3 years, but before that I worked as a backend programmer for Amazon and gotten a bachelor's in computer science. Maybe we can build a web app together and host it on Heroku or AWS, I think maybe we can use https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter to get started and build off that. Or maybe you come up with something yourself or we build on one of your projects.... - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• what are the criteria to choose a language/framework

  When building a web app from scratch, I recommend you build on top of a hackathon starter like https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter or maybe https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Node-Starter if you want to use TypeScript, but for your purposes I believe you don't need TypeScript. The starter includes all the dependencies you need and you can pretty easily host it on something like Heroku or AWS. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Podcast - Advices for newbies

  Try a new tool with starters: For example, if you want to try to use express to build your web page, and you know nothing about it. In the beginning it can be very frustrating if you are struggling with the basics or syntax or debugging stuffs. You can try a starter which has coded the structure for you and you just need to fill things in. (Hackathon starter - A kickstarter for Node.js web applications). - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Is my authentication implementation bad?

  For the cookies I used vercel’s own nextjs-with-passport example repo, just replaced the in-memory mock “db” to the mongoose implementation from sahat’s node js starter, so I think that these are safely handled. - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago

• Building production-grade web backends?

  A) This is a great starter with auth, and a bunch of api examples. I started my project with this, and it’s been great, but I recently found out that there’s also a TS version by Microsoft of the same starter. I think that it’s opinionated enough for someone new to this ecosystem. (Ps: I think you’re better off switching the templating language from pug to ejs. It’s pretty php-like). - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Rock Solid Express Application Architecture

  One of these boilerplates is sahat/hackathon-starter with 30k+ stars on GitHub and a huge set of features to get you started with. But what I dislike about this boilerplate is the fact that it's too bloated for my needs. I mostly build APIs with Express and this boilerplate comes with a hefty view layer. I surely can cut that off but other parts of the boilerplate are also well suited for full-stack applications... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
