Log & Learn: Thinkful Capstone Project #2

This app is aimed toward being a simple and easy-to-use learning aid that allows a user to record log entries that detail reflections and progress made when learning a new subject. Each log entry can be categorized under a specific type of post (e.g. Concepts, Questions, Needs Improvement, etc), which allows for easy organization and filtering. You can also sort logs by log title or metadata. For a list of enhancements that I'd like to add in the future please see bottom of README.

The app was built using the following technologies/methodologies:

• Javascript/jQuery
• Express.js/Node.js
• Mongoose/MongoDB
• RESTful API
• HTML
• CSS
• Mocha/Chai/Chai-http
• Responsive Design
• Accessibility
• TravisCI

API Endpoints:

GET /logEntries - Returns all saved log entries

GET /logEntries/:logId - Returns an individual log entry

POST /logEntries - Create a new log entry

PUT /logEntries/:logId - Update a specific log entry

DELETE /logEntries/:logId - Remove a specific log entry

Features I'd like to add in the future:

• User authentication
• Integrate with a WYSIWYG editor to allow formatting of log entries
• Allow user to upload attachments to log entries
• Integration with a messaging or email API so that the app can send notifications to the user containing prior log entries in spaced repitition to assist with retention and knowledge refinement
• Search logs by keywords
• Allow user to create different Log sets so different subjects can be separated out
