Work sample to be completed to apply for the engineer position at Crowdcast.

At Crowdcast, we use a variety of technologies to serve realtime data to our users. Our core interactions happen with Firebase, but we also interact heavily with our own RESTful APIs.

The app in this repository is an Angular app served from a Node server.

To test your abilities, we've created a very incomplete app which has the responsibility of exposing a UI to our users for browsing a list of blogger's profiles.

We created a small service (hosted at:https://crowdcast-ws.herokuapp.com/) which provides basic user profiles. All of this is fake and modeled to work with this app. All profiles are fake.

• Node 4.x
• Angular 1.5.3

The best way to work is by cloning the code to your local machine. Do not fork the code base to a public repo - we don't want people claiming your work as their own.

// only on initial setup
npm install

npm start

The server listens to localhost:3101 and watches any .js, .scss in client/app. All code you write should be inside client/app. You can structure the subfolders however you want, though. When adding or deleting files, you will need to restart the server.

Fetch user profiles from our service hosted at https://crowdcast-ws.herokuapp.com/

GET /users
returns a list of users with basic profile data

GET /users/:id
returns a single user with complete profile data

POST /follow
data: { username: usernameToFollow }
Follows a given user

DELETE /follow?username=usernameToUnfollow
Unfollows a given user

As a general rule, you own this app and can structure it however you want. This could mean reorganizing things and probably means adding routes, controllers, models, and specs as you feel is necessary. ES6 is strongly encouraged.

Use the tools and libraries you enjoy using.

Your presentation should be something you're proud of. The user-experience and aesthetic aspects should be well considered. We're not expecting an exceptionally well designed app with Crowdcast's branding applied, but a generally sound user experience is.

This is the landing page of your application. It should simply display a list of users along with their basic information.

Interacting with one of the users in your list (click / hover / etc, you decide) should show a popover (modal) with more information about the user.
