Here is something that I've wondered about it. When you started Hackathon Starter, did you plan for it to appeal to a lot of other people, or is it a case of making something for yourself and others just found it and liked it too unexpectedly?

@katimichel I primarily created it for others, knowing how difficult it was for me when I first started learning about concepts required for web development — database, oauth, back-end, front-end, rest api, 3rd party api integration, gulp, webpack, unit testing. Plus I was still a college student at the time and needed to have something in my portfolio before graduation. But I never expected that Hackathon Starter would receive so much publicity and positive feedback!

@evnowandforever I'm surprised to hear you say that it was difficult for you. Seems to come so easily to you now. I have heard of this quite often lately, with developers (who knew nothing and worked day after day to get better) and with conference speakers (who seem very good at it, but say that they are a nervous wreck before speaking). It's a good reminder that everyone starts somewhere.

I've used it for some early stage projects and awesome! It's also great tool to learn about node, express and all the other packages it uses

Hi @evnowandforever just wanted to thank you for creating this project. I'm currently using it for a side project. Also, I'm a big fan of your tutorials.

I recently stumbled upon this and was thinking what a great idea and execution! Glad to see this making it to PH and reaching the top spots. A real timesaver and I will be using it on my next project for sure!
