Story app for my sister and her chillins

Getting Started

Clone this repo, run npm i.

If you haven't already, make sure your machine is setup to have MongoDB running. If you haven't installed it already I suggest getting setup with HomeBrew: http://brew.sh/ and then downloading and setting up MongoDB by following this nice little getting started guide: http://treehouse.github.io/installation-guides/mac/mongo-mac.html

You'll have to get the correct keys from me for the .env.example file for the app to actually run. Provided you have that file then you can continue below.

After all that npm start should get you up and running on localhost:3000 as long as you have nodemon installed. If you don't have nodemon run npm install -g nodemon before npm start
