• create controller placeholders
• return JSON from Express request
• incorporate mongoose
• test API
• set GET route to read data from database
• set POST route to add data to database

• include routes folder in application
• determine what routes will be used
• finding based on query
• finding random entries on load or empty query,
• adding entries (for web scraper)

• in index, post a message when no podcasts are available
• make error page look nicer

Sketch out ideas for front end based on different frameworks

get perspectives from leadership team

• in script.js, create a render function with the param API call, index template
• consider exporting render function from script,js, importing into controllers file
• if there is a CORS issue, consider using a proxy server?

• Express engine - pug template, gitignore

• Materialize js and css files in public folder

• modify file structure to reflect Getting Mean text

Utilize RSS to JSON to grab rss feeds, parse through

Develop an algorithm that, for every entry, will...

• create an object with all relevant database fields
• starting from the first episode, add an "episode Number" for updating
• make a post request
• sanitize JSON output to remove any HTML elements from episode description
• look into libraries for removing HTML elements from strings
• get rss feeds, web page links for other podcasts to include
• run the algorithm on a timer, to regularly update

Wait until minor issues are cleared up!

• break down different parts of app for a better understanding of things
• determine any alternative technologies that could work
• create blank template of project for future use

• Import Materialize

• Create a proc file, update package.json, deploy to heroku

Currently using an event handler to change the URL, pulling the data from the search bar and plugging it into the API call

• figure out how to integrate the button - so that when clicking enter, it still works / doesn't automatically revert back to the main page

• add a symbol to each card template accessible from overview or details view

• use JS DOM methods to target whichever symbol is selected

• when symbol is clicked on, remove that entire card (up to the div with the col class)

• modify revealed cards so that they are on a different line than the title (otherwise this breaks the layout of each card)

Need to find all RSS feed links for podcasts

need to figure out how to pull information from RSS feeds, convert into JSON

• rss-to-json package pulls out data wonderfully
• delivers an "items" array with every podcast episode
• allows for access to podcast episode, description, etc. without too much object-dredging

create dummy data for later stages

• get autocomplete example working

• local storage - checking if entries in storage, if not, storing and loading in default values

• local storage - saving value from form to local storage

for the view, check out Materialize autocomplete: https://materializecss.com/autocomplete.html

for storing data, consider using local storage: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API/Using_the_Web_Storage_API

see materialize pagination here - https://materializecss.com/pagination.html#!

see mongodb iterationhttps://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/iterate-a-cursor/

Create json file with episode data for 6 other podcasts

get thumbnails for 6 other podcasts

render cards based on data from json

• using regex101, use sample description and work out a literal pattern
• convert literal pattern into a general pattern, converting a string into an array using ampersands as delimiters

• in public/script.js, target search bar and pull values from it
• delimiting pulled values with ampersands
• plugging concatenated parameters into API call
• test to see if data is returning from that call
