Often developers choose to build a portfolio for their work, and that portfolio or online résumé is separate from their programming workflow and especially separate from their Github. We aim to provide an environment where the Portfolio, the Github, and a Cloud IDE for coding, are all in one place
About the bugs, there were several CORS-related issues during the calls to the API. We spent a total of 4-5 hours just fixing CORS issues! It is crazy but that happened because we were using the VueJS app and PHP API on the same domain but a different port. Numerous other issues were there but there is nothing that a little StackOverflow can't solve :)
Another challenge was to manage the database flow for our custom portfolio-hosting and the user's Github account plus an optional Codiad Cloud IDE we were planning to implement but ran out of time.
Adding to it, I would say that a big challenge was going on with the project alone. My teammate had to back out due to unforeseen circumstances, and carrying on the grind alone was not an easy task :)
The project uses VueJS as the front-end framework and PHP for the back-end API. MySQL is the database of choice.
VueJS resides in the app/ directory. You would have to manually change the API URLs in a lot of places. To avoid that, host your PHP application from the api/ directory to the URL: http://localhost:80/resumeweekend (which is currently configured for the API calls)
You can find dedicated information about hosting both the VueJS app and the PHP API in their respective folder's READMEs
