Idea Board

What is Idea Board?

This is a simple application created with the MEAN stack to keep a log of ideas for upcoming hackathons (or anything, really).

The application is meant to be a very simple and very basic idea board, with no login; anyone can post to the board. This is to ensure flexibility and simplicity so that anyone can customize the application to fit their needs.

Basic Usage

Requirements

To use the Idea Board, you need to have the following installed on your system:

• node

1. cd server and install the required packages with npm install.
2. cd public and install the required packages with bower install.

Notes

The Idea Board is styled with Bootstrap, but /server/public/css contains style.sass for custom css.
