Project 3 -- Backend Server

This is the backend server for project three. It uses Express. It provides api access to a mlab mongo database that is accessed through the AngularJS frontend found here: https://github.com/mwb86/gofilter

Currently being hosted on Heroku: https://morning-wildwood-94098.herokuapp.com/

This repo was split off from the above repo late into development, so the commit history is short. Early commits can be found there.

Launch via nodemon from the project's root.
