Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll get to it!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. If you see anything weird feel free to open a pull request, or not, its cool. I'm really just doing this to get a feel for open source. I want to learn the best practices of contribution to the community.

It's entirely for practice. I'm new to package development/unit testing and I just figured I'd share it to see if anyone would look at it and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. (:

You're right, I need to be a bit more realistic with my experience. I'm going to try to make it my goal to work on one full stack project a week and put it on Github. Maybe I'll make a Yik-Yak clone this week or something, at least that provides some sort of tangible evidence that I know what I'm doing. Thanks for the advice!

Doesn't sound like bragging at all, you worked hard for your position. Thanks for the advice, I will definitely start going to some meet-ups. Hopefully it all works out. Besides React, Mongo and Express, what would you recommend I add to my arsenal of web development technologies? Would be good to get the perspective of someone working at a relatively progressive company such as yourself.

Thanks for the words of encouragement; I sure hope it works out that way!
