Moving onto Node.js

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
Me and some friends decided to have a small get-together, we had roast chicken, stuffing and macaroni and cheese, it was delicious.

Recently I have been moving towards back-end developing to become a well-rounded developer.
So, I have been practicing Node.js, specifically Express to make servers. It is crazy difficult! So much new things to learn and so many new concepts to take in. However, it is very fun and very different from front-end.

Actually, recently I made a small web application just to show what i have learned so far. It is a small messaging board and deployed on Heroku.

One challenging thing was actually deciding which template to use, I had narrowed it down to Ejs or PUG. Ejs was more or less the same as HTML but slightly cluttered with the new syntax to learn. PUG was very different but was clean and easy to read.
In the end I decided to go for Ejs for my first project just so everything will go well without a hitch!

Please check it out and give me some feedback if you can!

Also what is everyones preferred template to use? Let me know!
