(yes, the name is kind of a joke, I just can't think a better one that the initials can be read as a name that)

This project stands for a simple home "assistant", trying to collect some data from my house. Enumrating:

• Learn about frontend developing, create dashboards, etc
• Create some kind of monitoring system for my internet connection
• Learn the full process of developing a web application, from the data collecting and it's usage
• Understand authentication systems, creating one from scratches
• Try to create something nice with data collected
• Apply knowledge about IoT devices, just to not losing the skills with the time that I'm not working with it

Stage 1: proof of concept

• Integrate MongoDB

• Create routine to monitoring internet connection

• Create a frontend
