ng-Home (Google Now theme)

Beautiful home apps for developers using Angular (Google Now theme)

Stack

• Angular
• Node
• Express
• Mongo
• Socket.io
• Stylus
• Gulp

Purpose

ng-Home was created to be a starting point for developers to build an awesome personal / portfolio app. If you're cool with a hacker news or craigslist themed, or should I say non-themed, personal site, then this is not for you. This is for the developers that crave style and shiny things.

Theme

This theme draws inspiration from Google Now on Android and Google Search on iOS. Using the search bar at the top of the page, users can search for information about a developer. In formation is formatted and placed on 'cards' that enter and leave the page based on what is being searched. Animations are smooth. Ng-Home is mobile friendly.

Usage

ng-Home uses Gulp as a task runner

1. Install globals if you don't have them yet

• sudo npm install -g bower gulp mocha

2. Install dependencies

• npm install
• package.json has a postinstall that will run bower install after npm is done installing

3. env Variables

• You must export the following variables for 3rd Party API integration
• exports TWITTER_HANDLE= your twitter handle minus '@'
• exports TWITTER_API_KEY= your twitter api key
• exports TWITER_API_SECRET= your twitter api secret
• exports TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN= your twitter access token
• exports TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET= your twitter access secret

4. Booting up

• Gulp will runt all test, start live-reload server, concat and lint client scripts, then load api server with nodemon. Al this is set to go but just running gulp
