#Roboto#

###Overview###

A sci-fi themed crowdfunding app from the future.

Roboto was initially as a quick portfolio piece built to facilitate my learning of the MEAN stack. Shortly after development started I decided to switch over to Angular on Rails and make the core of the app more modular. The sci-fi aspect of Roboto is now merely a just-for-fun theme of what is going to be a relatively full featured crowdfunding app (while also being a testbed for learning new technologies).

###Technologies used###

Roboto: HTML5, CSS3, Sass, JavaScript, jQuery, Node.JS, AngularJS, Grunt.js, and the BEM methodology.

Roboto API: Ruby on Rails, Postgresql.

###Current state of the app### Roboto is currently very early in development. Basic features beyond CRUD for robots and contributions are currently being built.

###Developer Roadmap###

September 9 – User functionality (CRUD)

September 16 – Layout tweaks and polish – Optimization

• Deployment to Heroku

September 23 – Responsive design

October and beyond – Much more. Details forthcoming.
