TLM Coding challenge

(inspired by: https://github.com/coveo/backend-coding-challenge)

Requirements

Backend

Design an API endpoint that provides a ninja name based on a list of technology buzzwords (Ex: Awesome List)

• The endpoint is exposed at /ninjify
• The search has to be deterministic
• The search term is passed as a querystring parameter x
• The endpoint returns a JSON with a ninja name

Frontend

Design an user interface to input web technology buzzwords and then generate an awesome ninja name.

• Responsive
• Mobile/Desktop compatibility

"The rules"

• You can use the language and technology of your choosing. It's OK to try something new (tell us if you do), but feel free to use something you're comfortable with. We don't care if you use something we don't; the goal here is not to validate your knowledge of a particular technology.
• End result should be deployed on a public Cloud (Heroku, AWS etc. all have free tiers you can use).
• The results have to be SFW and politically correct

Advices

• Try to design and implement your solution as you would do for real production code. Show us how you create clean, maintainable code that does awesome stuff. Build something that we'd be happy to contribute to. This is not a programming contest where dirty hacks win the game.
• Feel free to add more features! Really, we're curious about what you can think of. We'd expect the same if you worked with us.
• Documentation and maintainability is a plus.
• Don't you forget those unit tests.
• We don’t want to know if you can do exactly as asked (or everybody would have the same result). We want to know what you bring to the table when working on a project, what is your secret sauce. More features? Best solution? Thinking outside the box?
• Make sure you apply security good practices

Bonuses

• Add easter egg with the Konami code.
• Permalink to share the result

Sample responses

These responses are meant to provide guidance. The exact values can vary based on the data source and scoring algorithm

GET /ninjify?x=sass,rails,html

{
  "name": "Crimson Drop Shadow"
}
