Integration of Indie 88.1 FM with Grooveshark

Indie88 Playlist

This app can help you make a personalized list of favourite tracks from Indie88 FM with their corresponding Grooveshark links. I made it primarily for the Grooveshark integration, but also as an excuse to learn a bunch of stuff:

• Node.js & Express
• MongoDB & Mongoose
• Zurb Foundation: knowing Bootstrap fairly well already, I wanted to try a different front-end framework that is responsive to mobile, tablet, and desktop devices
• Mithril.js: a simple but powerful client-side MVC framework
• IndexedDB: used to locally cache recent and liked tracks so that content loads faster on the browser without making redundant requests to the server
• Bower
• Gulp
• Heroku
