definely

This project is intended to allow the creation of words and abbreviations and connecting to definitions.

Dev. Stack

• node.js as language library
• hapi.js as node.js framework
• postgreSQL for data-store
• http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/client-for-node-js-and-the-browser/ -- maybe... as a future-feature

Schema

• terms and definitions (1:*)
• terms represent both words (ex. 'balloon') and abbreviations (ex. 'bal.' or 'bal').
• while each term can connect to a definition, a term can also link to another term.

Siren API

• The app exposes a siren hypermedia api at /api/terms and /api/terms/:id.
• To facilitating browsing the api, see http://siren-browser.herokuapp.com/
