A MEAN stack app for searching higher education IT jobs in the UK, the app allow users to create an account and shortlist jobs posted. Uniposts searches university HR website for I.T. jobs nightly.
Node does the bulk of the work on the server side - web server, RESTful API, job scraping, DOM traversal and parsing, authentication, importing into MongoDB, Angular provides a nice reactive frontend with services which access the node API routes. MongoDB stores jobs and Mongoose provided a nice ORM for search and paging etc.. - no heavy duty relational DB needed!

- Start the server:
node server.jsor use PM2 to demonise. - View in browser at

Uniposts started as a way for me to learn more about programming in a asynchronous environment and to learn a little bit more about NodeJS. Feel free to fork or contribute to this project. I'd love to here your feedback and questions.
