I have also developed a middle-ware to communicate the UI to the back-end in real-time using Node.js and Socket.IO, and a PDF generator using PhantomJS.
TimeApp (Other amazing things)
This is a DEMO application which lets users manage time-zones, helping you track the time of different cities.
I wrote it from scratch, as a part-time project, in 2 weeks time, using AngularJS, Bootstrap (as CSS framework) and a RESTful PHP back-end, based on Slim micro-framework.
