Automatic Potato!!! 🍠

Automatically fetch a random potato by going to http://localhost:3000/auto-potate.

Introduction

I originally planned to have some fun with this project (see Origin section below). Later, I decided to used this simple structure as a small experiment to compare different frameworks.

Each framework has its own folder in the frameworks directory, with each folder having its own README.md that includes setup details.

Notes

• An attempt has been made to serve each image non-statically so it goes through the framework's own file-processing/serving mechanism.

• Actual package dependency files/folders e.g. Gemfile.lock and node_modules have been excluded from the project to keep the respository's size small. Exact versions of these packages have of course been specified wherever possible, like in the Gemfile or package.json files.

Kristopher Johnson made an excellent suggestion which this project is a result of. Here is a screenshot in case the link to that tweet no longer works:

GitHub suggested the following repository name:

The rest is history.
