Description

Journaling app meant for travelers. Made with intentions of having cool graphics supporting the journaling done while travelling.

Features

• user login
• journaling (local db)
• globe and library graphics

Want to add:

• draw marker on places of interest on top of 3d globe
• scan for city names or special locations within journal entries to update graphical pinpoints

Drawbacks:

• Journal graphics in library do not detail the title of each journal. Mitigation was to give each journal a randomized tint of color based on its title.
• No backups to the cloud.
• add journal functionality fails on firefox (Network error, probably cors related issue)

Requires

• mongodb
• npm and nodejs
• a trusted server certificate (fixes cors related issues)

Setup

1. install mongodb tutorial
2. generate a server certificate (use https on localhost) tutorial
3. run mongodb
   • brew services start mongodb-community@7.0
   • mongosh
4. fill out .env file
5. npm start
