Crossword Helper

About

The goal of this project is to make crossword creation more accessible and streamline the process for those already experienced in the craft.

Quick Start

To run the demo, first, download the crossword data from here (courtesy of xd.saul.pw). Save clues.tsv to the root directory of this project. Also, be sure to have MongoDB running on localhost:27017. Then, from the root directory, run

npm start:db

It may take a while before everything is inserted into the database, even past when the stream is done reading. To start the web server, run

npm start
cd client && npm start

and navigate to localhost:3001.

Scope

Currently, this is just a demo. There's a million and one things that still need to be done.
