A New App
I have been feeling restless recently. Mostly, I have been looking for a way for me to channel my creative energy. So, for the past couple of weeks I have been mulling over ideas for an app I can create. I am hoping the journey will help me sharpen my programming skills. I will be blogging my progress in the hope that I can connect with other like-minded developers out there.
Tools

- Xcode 9 and Swift 4 for front-end development
- MindNode for brainstorming
- Evernote for note taking
- Todoist for task tracking
- Node.js for the backend
- Database is still a question mark
- Atom for back-end development
- GitHub for source control

It was very easy for me to get started with Node.js. While learning curve is definitely an important aspect to consider when choosing a technology, I am worried that I will end up being bogged down by the quagmire that is JavaScript. (#sorrynotsorry)
First step
The first step will be for me to get an API running on Node.js and connect it to my client side application. After I get a proof of concept that I have chosen the correct technologies, I will start doing some wires by hand.
Want to help out? The app will revolve around goal setting. I am looking to gather information on what kind of goals people set for themselves. Please leave a comment with the types of goals you set for yourself.
