Course Blocks

Live app: heroku / custom domain (not https)

This is an open source site for building and enrolling in courses. It is built in HTML/CSS/JavaScript/jQuery for the front end, and Node/MongoDB for the back end. My plan is to rebuild the front end in React after the initial iteration is complete. Please visit this post for more information about the project.

Users of the site can view courses, which look like this:

And after creating an account users can create their own courses. Here's the create course page:

They can also track the courses they're enrolled in and their progress:

Cloning Instructions

If you'd like to copy or fork this repo, there are only a few changes you'll have to make to get it up and running.

• First run npm install to get all of the node modules installed.
• The project uses a .env file to import the JWT_SECRET. Add a default secret in the config.js file or create your own .env file.
• After that it's just a matter of updating the branding and styling however you like!
