  res.status(err.status);
  res.render('error');

cards.js

const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const data = require('../../data/flashcardData.json').data;
const cards = data.cards;

router.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.render('card', { question: cards[0].question, hint: cards[0].hint});

Looks like a potential route path issue... sounds like the path maybe './routes/card/cards', but I can't be sure, since I don't know the exact file structure.
