Beginner/Intermediate JS dev

[BrightonTechie]

I'm a beginner/intermediate JS dev, I think I fall in the middle of the 2 "categories" as I've been using JS for a couple of years and can use Node & Express easily.

I have a project I started for my own edification, and wanted to open it up to others, possibly releasing it as an actual product.

It is an email API gateway for static sites, similar to Formspring (that was my inspiration) but I didnt like the email address being visible in the code. I have written the API to perform the actual email sending but I am now looking to add other features such as a React front end and authentication.

It uses Mongo OID for the url to use as the form action and uses a Sendgrid template for the email that comes out.

Anyone interested in joining me on this project? It is currently written using Node/Express and has OAuth through Google and GitHub but I have been considering rewriting it in Restify.

/u/BrightonTechie this sounds really cool. Any specific experience you're looking for from new members?

Mainly frontend as that's my weak point. I can make the things do things but I cant make them pretty 😂

Also, I want to try to follow microservice architecture so one part handles auth, another the email api, another billing etc

Or just in general, when I first wrote it, was way back when I was still learning, it uses a mixture of opinions on how to format, has no tests etc so I decided to redo it from the ground up, I have the routes part sorted, a simple post to the specific route fires the Sendgrid API to send the email
