Explore the Code

You can explore BingeHive's code base by navigating to the src directory found in this GitHub repository. Alternatively, you can simply click this link to take you there directly.

const express = require("express");
const app = express();

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Welcome to BingeHive");
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Server started!");
});

Future Plans

Currently, the generated lists can only be seen by the user that owns them. Future iterations of this web app would allow ideally to share those lists with friends and family, to create a social aspect to the web app.
