Research Topics

• Socket.io

  • this will update to everyone's browser as soons as someone creates a post in the database.

• Parcel

  • this will lower overhead as Parcel creates a bundle for all the css/js files in the html

• jQuery

  • this will make ajax requests simpler to write for me! (the developer!)
