You’ll start with Node.js and Express to build the backend, connect to a podcast API, and serve your app securely. On the frontend, you’ll use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to craft a sleek, responsive UI with custom playback controls, persistent search history, and a playback queue.
It’s a serious upgrade to your dev toolkit. You’ll practice working with APIs, handling user data, and deploying features users actually care about. By the end, you won’t just have new skills - you’ll have a standout project for your portfolio!
