No front-end libraries are used. It's all vanilla JS, CSS and HTML.\n\n# Project is being rewritting [here!](https://github.com/HappyZombies/4chan-nodejs/tree/rewrite)\n\n\nGetting Started\n-------------\nMake sure you have Node.js, NPM, and a MySQL Server installed.\nWith MySQL, create a database. If you are lazy, copy this command in insert into the MySQL terminal. ``CREATE DATABASE `4chan`;``\n* Update the .env according to your setup. [See here for an example](https://github.com/HappyZombies/4chan-nodejs/blob/master/.env). Make sure that the .env file is in your root directory. \n* Run `npm install`\n* Run `node app.js` and you will have your own instance of 4chan running on your localhost! \n\n\nThere are a lot of features that 4chan provides that are not yet added. The overall core functionality of 4chan is what's currently present. These 4chan features will be added eventually. \n#####Note: *Due to the school season, progress is slow but updates will be occasionally made. Expect summer to be loads of fun!* \n\n# FAQ \n\n#### Why aren't you using any front-end libraries ?\n- This 4chan clone is using vanilla front end becuase this project was made for the purpose of *not* using front-end libraries. Instead, to learn and make sure we all know vanilla CSS and JS, we create the tools that we need without the assitance of external libraries. Perhaps I will create another clone of this project using Vue.js, Polymer.js, and Dojo Toolkit, who knows! \n\n#### I want to help!\n- Sure! This project is made for fun! I have no intent on publishing this (who knows honestly). Go ahead open an issue if there's a bug, fork, and send requests! The more the merrier.\n\n # [Join our Slack!](https://4chan-nodejs.slack.com), PM me on [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/HappyZombies/) with your email address to join.\n\nRoadmap... *so far*.\n-------------\n\n### To-Do\n- [x] Create the basics/core of 4chan. \n- [ ] Add form validation to backend and frontend. \n- [ ] Add 4chan misc. features including: banning users, deleting threads/comments, admin interface and more (this will be broken up to other tasks)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhappyzombies%2F4chan-nodejs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhappyzombies%2F4chan-nodejs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhappyzombies%2F4chan-nodejs/lists"}
