README
### See how [_the exact same_ Medium.com clone](https://demo.realworld.show) is built using different [frontends](https://codebase.show/projects/realworld?category=frontend) and [backends](https://codebase.show/projects/realworld?category=backend)
You can combine any frontend with any backend, because **they all adhere to the same API spec**
While most "todo" demos provide an excellent cursory glance at a framework's capabilities, they typically don't convey the knowledge & perspective required to actually build _real_ applications with it.
**RealWorld** solves this by allowing you to choose any frontend (React, Angular, & more) and any backend (Node, Django, & more).

# Learn more
- [Documentation introduction](https://docs.realworld.show/introduction/)
- Every tutorial is built against the same [API spec](api/) to ensure modularity of every frontend & backend
- Every frontend utilizes the same handcrafted [Bootstrap 4 theme](https://github.com/gothinkster/conduit-bootstrap-template) for identical UI/UX
- There is a hosted version of the backend API available for public usage at [api.realworld.show](https://api.realworld.show) (with strong account isolation), no API keys are required
- There is an angular frontend plugged to this backend available at [demo.realworld.show](https://demo.realworld.show)
