Unable to get hint button to appear

My app works mostly like Andrew's except for the yellow hint button. And at this point I'm not entirely sure where is the problem. if it's in the JS or Pug files.

My code is in this repo

Disregard my previous answer. I totally missed the teacher's notes!

Sheila Anguiano it looks like the code on your repo is working now. Were you able to work it out?

Hello Mike Straw,

I think I solved it, inside the card.pug view, and you can see it working here:

Flash Cards Live Version

I used Heroku for the live version, and it was a pretty good challenge getting to work there, but is a good starting project for a Personal Portfolio

I'll try testing your solution, just to see how it works out, and I'd be a nice refresher, because it's been a while since I used Express

I'm actually completely confused by the whole hint button thing. The first time I knew anything about it was when he casually mentioned it in the video. The design files don't have one, and other solutions talk about a /public/js/app.js file, but I see nothing like that in the design files, and there's never been a mention of it anywhere outside this video.

Any insights anyone has would be helpful.
