This is a test application I wrote to experiment with AngularJS and Twitter Bootstrap.

• To setup locally do:

~$ npm install

• Then start the web-server:

~$ ./bin/run-www

• To view, navigate to localhost:3000 in your web browser and voila.

To enter a new word, just type it in to the input bar; hit enter; the editing dialog will appear; fill in a definition and click Save Changes.

To browse words, begin by typing any character into the input bar; scroll down the list to see what words start with what you typed. If you would like to edit any of them, just click on the word you would like to edit, and the editing dialog will appear. Make the changes you would like and click 'Save'. That easy.

(hint: type a single period '.' to see the whole list of words)

This is a simple vocabulary/dictionary-type storage. It demonstrates a few features:

• Local storage -- there is a database in your web browser! It uses Queryable which extends JSON to make it queryable.
• Persistency -- the client-side database is preserved across sessions. So any changes you make are yours to keep. This is accomplished in a server-less fashion; no data is returned to the server, there is no server-side database cacheing your input. To verify this: enter a new word, for instance: foo with the definition: bar 31337; close your web browser, open it again and navigate back to this page. Search for foo. Your custom definition should appear. There is no server back-end. A stock version of the vocab list is served to first-time users; any changes, customizations after that are saved locally only, in a persistent manner.
• AngularJS's two-way binding -- pretty much everything in the application is tied to the search bar
• Twitter Bootstrap's simple layout techniques. And jQuery-based easy javascript dialogs.
• Responsive design for free! The layout works equally well in iPad, iPhone, and Desktop monitors.
• UI Design -- look, no buttons! All you need is right there, and activated by the ENTER key (which is device ubiquitous).
• Express. It uses Node & Express for the server environment.

There is a live demo
