JQuotes (Work In Progress)

What is it?

An Express API that returns a random quotes from a JSON file of quotes.

User Authentication and Favorites functionalities planned!

Demo

Frontend GitHub repo

A REMINDER: The website will feel slow at first because I made the frontend interact with the API hosted on Render's free tier, which is slow to start if inactive for 15 minutes, please be patient!

How does it work?

  1. Frontend requests a quote from the Express API
  2. Express API unzips the data.zip file and reads JSON file
  3. Server gets a random quote and sends it back to frontend
