Since Winnie-The-Pooh is now public domain, I wanted to share Pooh's wisdom and love for honey by creating a REST API that responded to a simple GET with a JSON object filled with sayings straight from the Hundred-Acre-Wood. There is a little object that can easily be replaced by a full database that serves to provide a source of quotes. E. H. Shepard's illustrations from The House At Pooh Corner are wonderful, imagination-expanding, and public domain and so served as inspiration for the front end.
Would like to add query parameter functionality to make it more useful. Maybe a little EJS can help me build pages to preview the quotes.
I would also like to add a link that creates a tweet from the quote.
Would like to make the app lighter by offloading the image assets to a media provider.
This was my first real node/express project that didn't follow a tutorial. This was simultaneously simpler and more complicated than expected and really deepened my understanding of request-response patterns. I just love Winnie-The-Pooh and I hope to add to this in the future!
