Elm App

This project is bootstrapped with Create Elm App.

Website

     This website was built on Elm (frontend platform) and APIs are built in .NET/C# to serve data.

Purpose

     Truck Sales team needed a super fast search/fitler trucks to give the results instantly.

Why Elm and .NET

     **Front-end** : Elm, like many others, I honeslty believe this is the best open-source/front-end tech out there in the market, looked at React.js, Angular and Vue, none could gave me the confidence that Elm did, so there is not much to make a decision on what to choose for frontend other than Elm, simply because of its super smart compiler with 100% type-safty, immutability, super fast Virtual DOM and most importantly, confident refactoring.
     
     Back-end: .NET/C#, this is what my primary skillset is, so there is not other thought on this side, simple.
