What I built

I built an app that simulates a donation system. How? - First, the user sets up a goal (e.g., buy a house, buy a car, travel to Las Vegas, etc.) and then publishes it so others can contribute with some money quantity (either because they are friends or because they want to help).

PS: There aren't real money transactions.

The app is being hosted by now at chipin.now.sh.

How I built it

Front-End

• Vue
• Pusher

The front-end is built using Vue. I chose it because I thought the contest was a good reason to learn new things like Vue and Pusher. Moreover, both Vue and Pusher are quite simple to work with.

Back-End

• Express
• Passport
• Pusher

The back-end is built using Express as the framework and Passport to control the auth system.
I'm using Express for handling the requests from the client like "create a goal" and "contribute to goal" and then sync the data using Pusher.

Database

• MongoDB

The app uses MongoDB as the database because it’s easy to work with Mongo and it doesn’t require complex configurations.

Conclusion

Thank you for giving me that opportunity, I think I learned a lot with this contest and I can say that I'm a better person and a better developer now.
And that's it.

Bye.
