I see these solutions a lot lately, HN browser, weather, etc, all in the terminal. Perhaps a silly question, but why the need for browsing it in the terminal instead of a browser like say, Chrome or Firefox?
Excellent write-up. I have been playing with Express a lot, but for production I am seriously considering to start using Hapi. Creating applications for the healthcare sector comes with lots of requirements and regulations. If you take that into account, Hapi makes a lot of sense, because there's a lot of boilerplate code available in the plugins (most of which are perfectly maintained) that will be required in the app.
Great implementation of Material Design, the best I've seen so far. With other material design implementations [1] I ran into problems with checkboxes, sliders and other design choices, as well as problems on mobile. I appreciate the design choices made for MDL. It also runs smooth on mobile and the form elements like checkboxes and sliders work really nice.
Also, useful documentation along with codepen and easy clipboard buttons.

Great job. For me personally, it's very helpful to have an end-to-end tutorial, where all aspects of an (example) app are discussed. I don't have a CS-background nor many years of coding experience, so a tutorial written by somebody who does have the proper experience and knowledge and puts it all together is extremely valuable to me. That's why I'd happily pay a fee for tutorials like this.
At the moment I'm working on building an app in Node.js with Express and sadly, there are not many tutorials of this quality.
I often tap the top status bar in iOS to scroll to the top of the page. Not sure about other users, but that shouldn't be something a developer is 'breaking' to provide a truly fixed header bar. Love the idea of a truly fixed header bar though, so I'd love to see a different solution to this problem.
