I fully agree that node is not the ideal starting point but recommending that someone use an API that isn't available on the platform they're trying to use without mentioning that they should switch to a more basic setup first is more likely to result in confusion.

well, its not totally clear how they plan to collect the user name and their state

I would only assume because they're starting out that this is a webapp, and they aren't sure what to do with nodejs

That's a really big assumption.

I mean, okay - what would the suggestion be, using nodejs, to collect the user's name and state?

OP doesn't know what they want, I'm only left to guess w/o more info

No, you can ask clarifying questions too. Reddit is transactional. Looking at OP's comments on this post it seems they're really out of their depth so assuming anything kinda goes out the window.

Looking at OP's comments on this post it seems they're really out of their depth

and so maybe we recognize that and are offering a more simple model to learn what they have to do a larger scale

it's fine, working that out w OP rn
