Question

Posted on May 19, 2015

By Chempo

So I want to make web app that uses different apis. I want users to register on website and then use the app.

My questions:

Which framework/ programming language to use?

I think Ruby and Ruby on Rails is way to go, but since I don’t know anything about other options I am asking you here.

Which database to use to store users and configurations users made?

I think MongoDB is a good choice, then again I don’t know if Mongo is made for that type of databse.

Is there anything else I need to make this app?

Description of app: It is a tracking app that pulls information from apis. Nothing too fancy :D. Users will need to login to those services (i.e. Facebook) so they can get information about their accounts. That’s basically it.
