Smooth Spend API is the backend server for a budget-tracking app I'm building. The app lets users take a photo of their receipts, which gets sent to this API to automatically extract the total spent and item descriptions. *Note for reviewers:* Because this is a pure backend API meant to communicate with a frontend application, visiting the root URL directly will only display a simple "Server is online" health check message!

Started over from scratch today. Rebuilt my Node.js backend instead of relying on generated code so I can actually understand every part of it. Server is running again

Hi, at the moment I’m working with JavaScript and doing some debugging while putting together the server. I’m setting up the backend structure and testing how the different parts connect.

I created the backend API for Smooth Spend, an app designed to help manage personal finances smoothly. I deployed it officially on Hack Club Nest using Node.js and Express!

The most challenging part was dealing with port forwarding and getting the reverse proxy settings right on Nest, as well as fixing PM2 setup errors so the server could run 24/7 in the background without crashing.

I'm super proud of successfully making the API public and seeing the live "Il server di Smooth Spend è online!" message in my browser after a good debugging session.

To test it, you can simply visit the live URL: https://smooth-spend-api.hackclub.app 🚀
