Example project with promises, Express sanitizing middleware, and Mongoose validation

Hey all,

Just wanted to share my completed version of the project. I used ES6 syntax features where possible (and appropriate), including promises, in case anyone was wanting to see an example of how to avoid callback hell. Also, I set up Mongoose validation on the inputs so empty text won't be accepted, and an HTML sanitizer to take care of most XSS attacks.

Awesome. Loved the ternary operator single-line expressions :)

Here's mine, with an incomplete React Js front-end app (yet incomplete though, I am on it right now).
