In the early stages of writing Getting MEAN I heard “Node is no good for websites” and “You can’t use the MEAN stack to build normal websites”. Now, what people mean by “normal websites” is another topic for discussion. Regardless, the assertion that you can’t build websites in the MEAN stack also not true. Look a little closer at the tools at your disposal and you’ll see you can use them in different ways.
Take a look at Express. That’s a web application framework right there. Yes you can use Express to create an API. You can also use Express to consume an API, process data, render a view template and push HTML to the browser. Sometimes there is a better solution to your problem.
SPAs can give a great user experience, but are generally more complex to code. Most coders don’t care about the complexity issue. Complexity provides challenges, and most coders are smart people and most smart people like challenges.
Delivering HTML directly from the server pretty much always gives a faster response time than building it on the client side, amidst a load of JavaScript application code. Sometimes speed of delivery is a critical factor. If this is the case then you can’t use the MEAN stack, because the MEAN stack is all about SPAs right? Wrong.
The MEAN stack can be whatever you want it to be.
You want an SPA? You got it. Build the SPA in Angular, and build a REST API in Node and Express to interact with MongoDB.
You want to deliver HTML directly from the server? You got it. Build your application in Express and use one of the templating engines available. You can still use Node and Express to build an API, or tightly couple your Node/Express application to your database. It’s up to you, depending on your needs.
You want to deliver HTML from the server, but add some interactive Angular components in? You got it. You can have an Express application like above, and have Angular components. You did expose your data through an API didn’t you?
You want a hybrid, delivering a public site directly from the server, with an SPA for private admin? You got it. You can mix and match to your heart’s content with the MEAN.

New York City is a terribleplace to summer. Whereas some water-bound towns have cool breezes rolling in off the ocean all day, we can better rely on the hot exhale of garbage trucks. Offices are set to roughly the same temperature as a polar ice cap, but subway platforms are so unfathomably sweltering that on my first day in NYC 14 years ago, I — adorably, like the wee baby New Yorker I was — uttered the words, “Is this even legal?” It’s a rare day that you don’t walk down the sidewalk and have a window a/c unit drip you-don’t-want-to-know run-off on your head. Flip-flops may cool your feet outside, but you may never recover from seeing the new color of your toes at the end of a day, and it always seems like everyone but me has Summer Fridays. The city tries, it really does, to make things more livable: the 14 beaches are free, there are dozens and dozens of free public pools, something like a zillion sprinkler parks, and you know all those endless photos you see of children frolicking in spraying fire hydrants? Hardly a symbol urban decay, it’s actually legal and encouraged. But the fact is that from July 4th on (and possibly earlier this year), anyone that has the means to be elsewhere is, and the rest of us plebes schvitz it out on the pavement.
And this summer, we’re going to do it grandly. We are going to embrace the heat. We are going to pretend we are someplace tropical and glamorous. Our summer house awaits… uh, in the blender.
