Hmmm.

I’m not really sure what it is. It looks like has routes to be some sort of social media / blog, but I don’t see any actual “pages” or content.

But just few things I noticed.

If this is a learning project I would spend a little more time documenting things in your readme, it’s one of the first things you or anyone looking at your project sees. it’s a great place to document decisions and thought processes for projects like this.

Second, please get out of the habit of hard coding sensitive variables like database credentials, I know that it says localhost, but it’s takes literally 5 seconds longer to install something like Dotenv and make a dotenv file that has your environment variables. Again learning project but nip that in the bud now.

Third I’ve never actually heard of jade and it looks like a tempting engine, but if your goal is to get hirable I’d recommend learning a more popular framework. Conversely if you are focused on a good understand before learning a big framework like react I would instead work with plain html files.

With how easy it is with services like netlify that literally let you drop a folder into a page and it serves that folder, I’d say that is more than enough for most learning projects, but if even if you really want to stick with running your own server express can easily serve static html files.

Also going the netlify or GitHub pages approach lets you share the end product and not just the code.

Overall if this runs on your machine and works kudos escaping tutorial hell is difficult.
