Structure:

The source code is located in src and split into client-code, server-code and shared code.

• server/server.js contains the implementation of the server
  • Json API is available via /api/... routes.
  • Routes for the web application:
    • / is the home page.
    • /timeline/:userName shows the timeline of the given user.
• The client/ folder contains the client-side javascript app.
  • main.jsx is the entry point.
  • components/app.jsx is where the client-side routes are defined.
