Project Overview
From the Other Side is a full-stack web application built using the native Node.js HTTP module without any backend frameworks. It allows users to submit and explore paranormal experiences while receiving live story updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE).
The frontend is served as static assets from the same Node server, ensuring a same-origin deployment with no CORS complexity. The backend follows a layered and event-driven architecture, using file-based JSON storage and Node’s EventEmitter for decoupled logic.
