Progressive learning webapplication

Progressive learning is a general purpose knowledge management system. The main features of the app are:

• Enable users to create learning-goals and categorize them.
• Users can store, manage and refer to their resource link URL's in a central place instead of constantly looking them up.

The app is developed using the SEAN(Sequelize, Express, Angular, Node) stack and with MYSQL as the database. It consists of a server and front-end module which are run separately. NOTE: This is an old version which is no longer under development, a new version will be launched soon!

Features

• Create learning-goals and structure them in several 'learning' units(e.g. chapters, parts).
• Add resource URL's/images related to a unit.
• Write summaries about a unit and the related material.
• Keep track of progress on learning-goals by marking units as complete or incomplate.
• Organize learning-goals into subjects.

Usage

The recommended way to run the application(for now) is to build it but there is also an online version of the app online at this url: https://progressive-learning.netlify.app/. NOTE: The online version is only intended for testing and demo purposes, there are frequent data-wipes and it's unstable.

In order to build the app yourself follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Add a .env file and configure the following environment variables:
   • DB_USER, DB_PASS, PORT, JWT_SECRET, JWT_EXPIRATION, COOKIE_SECRET
3. By default the sqlite database is used, enable mysql to persist data.
4. Navigate to the server folder and enter the following command: node start.
5. Navigate to the front-end folder and enter the following command: ng serve.
6. Navigate in your browser to the following URL: localhost:4200.
7. The app is now ready for use.

Contribution

Besides the fact that I needed a tool like this, I started this project also to learn about Node and express. I encourage pull requests, feel free to correct me on mistakes that I've made in the code. Make sure to follow the git commit message conventions.
