Can I Use Githhub Pages for Express Web App?

Hi guys,

As per the title, can I?

I've just been through the Node.js, MongoDB and Express sections of the Full Stack JavaScript track and have an idea for a project which will use all three.

Thanks for any help/suggestions. Don :-)

Thanks Benjamin,

I've done a bit of reading since posting this and that seems to be the case. It looks like Heroku is my best bet at this stage.

Cheers Don

Hi Don, Github pages are only meant for static pages(e.g no db stuff) as far as i know. You can do all kind of static site generators to create static page tho'. For node and express to run, you will probably need real server. Best regards
