Hackathon Starter

A kickstarter for Node.js web applications.

When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of use. Anyone who knows a little bit of JavaScript should be able to get started without too much pain. I tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific.

Chances are, you will not need all 4 types of OAuth2 authentication methods, or all 9 API Browser examples. Sadly, there is no step-by-step wizzard to configure the boilerplate code just for your use case. So, use what you need, simply delete what you don't need.

Features

  • Local authentication using Email and Password
  • OAuth2 authentication via Twitter, Facebook, Google or GitHub
  • MVC Code Structure
  • Bootstrap 3 + Flat UI
  • LESS stylesheets (auto-compiled)
  • Contact Form
  • Account Management
  • API Examples

Prerequisites

  • MongoDB
  • Node.js
  • Xcode (Mac OS X) or Visual Studio (Windows)

Quick Start

git clone git://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter
cd hackathon-starter
npm install
node app.js
