A Node.js quiz through a Node.js command line program. The program can be used directly in a command line environment or indirectly via webpage. The latter leverages WebSockets and Node child_process to pipe input and output between web client and command line environment. The webpage is served using Express.js.
Given this project involves both a command line program and a web app, there are two different interfaces and feature sets available. For example, the command line interface allows the choosing of topics, whereas the web app doesn't. See screenshots and local setups for each below.
