A kickstarter for Node.js web applications.
When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of use. Anyone who knows a little bit of JavaScript should be able to get started without too much pain. I tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific.
Chances are, you will not need all 4 types of OAuth2 authentication methods, or all 9 API Browser examples. Sadly, there is no step-by-step wizzard to configure the boilerplate code just for your use case. So, use what you need, simply delete what you don't need.
- Local authentication using Email and Password
- OAuth2 authentication via Twitter, Facebook, Google or GitHub
- MVC Code Structure
- Bootstrap 3 + Flat UI
- LESS stylesheets (auto-compiled)
- Contact Form
- Account Management
- API Examples
- MongoDB
- Node.js
- Xcode (Mac OS X) or Visual Studio (Windows)
