I’ve got a small project in mind for a sort of interactive reading list (I guess a cross between Amazon’s Lists and RSS). It’s not particularly UI heavy so I’m going to build out an API first and then I’ll pick a JS framework to serve the front end. Contenders at the moment are React and Angular.

The first job is to create a backend for the API which I’ll do with rails-api. Once this is done I can play around with front-end frameworks and see what seems to fit best.

It’s exciting learning new stuff. Last month was Swift, and I’m hoping to add a JS framework in February.
