Very cool, an inspiration. How long would you say it took you? (hours of work) I ask as a young developer looking to gauge where he stands. Anyone have resourc

  I didn't track time on this, but it took me 5-6 days to get it all done. I wasted a lot of time though: I didn't know much about NodeJS backends when I started this, and next to nothing about AngularJS. I did a couple of things three times until I got them right; I used to work as a front-end developer until I got fired last month, so now I'm trying some new things. I'm glad it's an inspiration for you.

    Well best of luck! Of course I don't really know, but you're obviously motivated and have skills, so I would bet you're now on the upswing. I am finishing something now that I hope to post to Show HN as well. Get some feedback, etc. Edit: AKA derpson5, decided to change my username. Sorry HN DBs, wasted a record.

  If you've built a simple web app, this is only a few hours of work. You'll spend more time handling the operational stuff like setting up DNS/Apache/EC2/WSGI. If this is your first app, I'd expect around a week as you figure out routing, templating, orms.. If you were using Rails, maybe 2 days? This would be very similar to any of the intro project/tutorials. Goodluck, though I have some advice: there are bigger problems to solve as a developer, this isn't one of them. This (and most web projects) are simply web forms that interact with a DB. It is no engineering feat.
