Why not just put a few HTML files on a server and achieve the same thing? I don't even notice any JavaScript on your site.

If I had just put some HTML files on a shared host I wouldn't have been able to learn Angular and Heroku fundamentals while building it ;)

Not noticing the use of JavaScript is actually the beauty of it.

It certainly could use a bit more flair, I think. I chose to avoid that because the goal was to just have something tangible ready by the end of a weekend. I threw the site together while I was looking to switch jobs, so that I could at least say I have minimal experience with frontend MVC. I did end up getting hired elsewhere, so it fulfilled its purpose. Funny enough, we don't use frontend MVC frameworks at all here, but it was a cool learning experience nonetheless.
