Mindful

Mindful is a simple, modular, open source mobile web application meant to serve as an experiment for others wanting to learn about front-end development and the Parse JS SDK. It's designed to be utility for letting a user quickly jot down an item they lent to a friend and give color coded indications as to the length of time those items have been lent out.

This app makes use of a few different popular JS libraries including

• Backbone
• Underscore
• Require
• Grunt

It also uses Ratchet for framing the mobile UI and Bower for package management. Granted, this is potentially a slightly overloaded dependency scheme for such a small and simple application - But, the point is to learn more about these tools and apply them to solving a small problem.

Getting Started

Make sure you have Node, NPM and Bower installed. You should probably install them in that order as well.

Then, just run this commands -

1. $ git clone git@github.com:robbschiller/mindful.git // Clone or Fork this repo
2. $ npm install to install your node dependancies to build the server // Install all the dependancies managed through NPM
3. $ bower install to install your front-end dependancies to build on top of the server // Install dependancies manged through Bower
4. $ node server.js to fire up the app!
5. Go to localhost:3000 in your browser
6. Break some stuff!
