As some of you are starting to think about building applications you might be able to deploy on a hosting service using your existing express knowledge (e.g. heroku) so you can open them on your phones or remotely away from your computer. This is all good, but as you're collecting personal data I want to make sure you're baking in some level of authentication so that your API and data are somewhat protected.
I've made this demo to show how very basic express authentication works. Maybe this is something we can all walk through together next time we meet, but I highly encourage you to try to get this running.
Our classmate Eva pointed out the use of Apple Shortcuts App to connect the custom API's we're building to nice native mobile app experience interfaces of the iphone. Eva and I set one up to pair with the vary-basic-express-auth-example using mongodb and heroku.
