Facial Recognition with JavaScript using face-api.js

Youtube Video

To start up the app:

1. run npm install in the root directory
2. The final code uses self signed certificates. You'll need to make them (I do this in the video, or see below)
3. run node on server.js
4. go to http://localhost:5000
