is a project designed to teach how seperate backend and frontend applications interact. Given a basic frontend application written in React (https://github.com/Vadlusk/quantified-self-fe-go), students are tasked with creating three matching backends, the first in Rails, the second in Express, and the third in a language of our choice.
The application's functionality is that of a basic calorie counter. The user can add foods to a list and then add foods from that list to any of four meals. Each food is assigned a number of calories which is subtracted from remaining calories for each meal and for the day (all meals added together). You can visit the deployed backend here, or the deployed frontend here.
