Instructions

Users can save a title along with the link to the archives. Once a title is in the archive, any user can comment to it as well as delete any comment. Enjoy!

Developer Comments

• Express-session is used to store data in server-side
• Lodash is used to merge array objects
• Comments and titles are in separate collections, the reason is comments need a unique ID for manipulation
• Title in Archive Schema is declared unique as to prevent duplicate titles
• UUID is created as second form of unique ID. So far it's redundant to mongoose's ID but could be useful in future development
• Request is used to make http calls and cheerio is used to process the response
