New AI and Integration Features

  • AI: AI Agent (ReAct: Reasoning+Acting) boilerplate with LangChain as a starting point for AI Agent development with support for:

    • Tool execution with automatic retry middleware for transient failures
    • MongoDB session persistence for chat history for authenticated users
    • Input guardrails for safety against prompt injection/jailbreak (Llama Guard 4)
    • Conversation summarization for long conversations to stay within context limits
    • Real-time streaming for live response chat experience using Server-Sent Events (SSE)
    • Streaming of the Agent's internal chatter, tool calls, etc., for debugging

  • AI: RAG boilerplate (LangChain, Huggingface, Groq (Llama 3.3), MongoDB Vector Search, Keyv caching)

  • AI: Serverless LLM integration - text classification (Llama 3.3 hosted on Groq)

  • AI: Vision - device camera and LLM vision model usage (Llama 4 Scout hosted on Groq)

  • AI: OpenAI Moderation model usage example

  • API Integration: trakt.tv

  • API Integration: Wikipedia (@nikeshadhikari9)

  • API Integration: Pubchem chemical info data source (@hemanthsavasere)

  • API Integration: Tenor GIPHY (@DanielLuu122 @YasharF)

New Core Features

  • 2FA via email and code generator apps (TOTP)
  • Login with passkeys (biometrics, Face ID, etc.)
  • Passwordless authentication (login via email link)
  • OAuth token revocation (RFC 7009-style and provider-specific variants) when users unlink an OAuth provider or delete their account
  • Login with Discord
  • Login with Microsoft (@dev-shahed)
  • Multiple profile picture support

Enhancements

  • Enhanced Express.js logging with custom Morgan configuration
  • Reduced startup friction for new projects by making reCAPTCHA credentials optional
  • Consolidated the AI integrations to be separate from API integrations
  • Refactored Passport.js strategies to use a common auth-login handler for easier swapping of OAuth providers, maintenance, and core testing
  • Updated the included sample Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for formatting and compliance with Google and Facebook requirements
  • Various visual and UX improvements
  • Improved pre-commit hook scripts for running eslint --fix and Prettier --write on files being committed
  • Consolidated temporary artifacts in tmp/

Bug Fixes

  • Fix Facebook OAuth: missing email scope, and infinite loop in certain cases
  • Fix upload folder being created in controllers/ instead of the app root
  • Fix error handling issues in Google Sheets and Google Drive integration
  • Fix various npm script-related issues for Windows development environments
  • Fix error from not having husky installed in production environments when using npm ci --omit dev

Chores & Maintenance

  • Replaced unmaintained express-flash npm package with our own middleware (@Prasanth-S7)
  • Replaced moment.js in favor of the native Node.js date API
  • Updated minimum engine to Node.js 24.13 which is the latest fully security-patched LTS version.
  • Updated dependencies
  • Improved dependabot and GitHub Action scripts to automate keeping dependencies up-to-date.
  • Updated Google Maps API integration
  • Updated Google branding per their requirements
  • Updated NYT API integration to use v3 endpoint
  • Updated QuickBooks API integration per required changes
  • Migrated Foursquare API integration to use the new Places API endpoints (@mheavey2)
  • Migrated reCAPTCHA to GCP
  • Removed Pinterest OAuth and API Integration
  • Removed SendGrid references as they no longer offer a reasonable free tier for hackathon participants (@nylla8444)
  • Removed lodash dependency, as much of the functionality can be fulfilled with current versions of JS with minimal code.
  • Removed Airbnb eslint (fork) usage in favor of direct rules within eslint 9 configs
  • Removed docker support documentation as it won't be officially supported any more (Docker workflows don't align with the hackathon development model and deployment environments vary too widely for a single Docker configuration to be useful or maintainable.)
  • Added Pull Request template with a checklist to remind devs on various pre-checks for shippable code
  • Updated various documentation (@YasharF @nylla8444 @FrontendBy-GJ)
