Memo

I'm not familiar with AngularJS, so I google search a light framework (ionic) and follow the instructions. To handle CORS issues, I refer to the http://blog.ionic.io/handling-cors-issues-in-ionic/ as solution. For the dashboard, I used angular-chart.js for convinence and mLab (Database-as-a-Service for MongoDB) as free cloud NoSQL database to store users' info. I used MEAN stack for this project and learned a lot about bitbucket.
