NodeJSBlog

This is a project I did to recreate my word press blog using plane node js. If I were to do this again, I would use PHP. NodeJS is great, however, it was a pain to deal with all the asynchronous calls when trying to create a web page in a linear fashion.

If you want to run this project, it requires Mysql, npm, and node to be installed. For deployment I used a Nginx proxy.
