Project in course Advanced web programming (TDDD27), given at Linköping University
This web application shall provide a Podcast-feed for its users. The user can create a profile, and subscribe to Podcasts which will be fetched from iTunes. The subscribed podcast will then be presented in the feed as new episodes arrives.
Note that the application will not do any playing of Podcast, but only provide a space similar to a light weight Instagram shell, but for podcasts.
The client side is written with React, using Redux.
Server side is a Node application, using Express.js. I haven't done any major development in Node before, so the main reason for the choice was about me wanting to become more comfortable in Node. MongoDB will be used for persistent data storage, using Mongoose.
The application uses JSON Web token for authorization.
Babel will be used transpiling of the Javascript, in order to use JSX and ES6. Webpack is used for bundling.
