Hi! I'm Mike Volovar, an engineer and designer focused on making the web more user friendly.
A project started between a friend and myself. We wanted to make a "Living Magazine Without any Baggage", where posts would stay alive (and visible) on the site based on the number of likes they received. The project was built in Node using Express and Mongo. It gave me a chance to learn those technologies as well as getting into API design.
