Background
My partner has re-invigorated her interest in artistic pursuits in the last 2 years and has produced some awesome art work. This app was built to show case her talent and as a way for me to learn a bit more about web app development and frameworks.
How I built it
Built using an excellent HTML5 UP as the starting point. Using Express as the backend and Handlebars as the templating engine. Images & descriptions are stored using Digital Oceans Spaces. Access to edit/upload images is handled using Passport and authenticated against Google OAuth.
Additional Resources/Info
App still needs some polishing. Uploading of images to DO Spaces could be handled better, editing of descriptions needs some work as well. However, it is functional.

Hey Troy! The link to your GH Repo is currently 404ing for me. I wouldn't want your submission to be marked invalid bc we can't access your repo -- it would be great if you could update it before the deadline! Your partner's art looks amazing btw, they should make an Etsy or start doing commissions if that interests them.
