Common directives

You MUST include a plaintext/markdown file (INSTRUCTIONS.md) that lists all the shell commands required to make your application work, including all the additional hypotheses on the underlying environment and business requirements (those SHOULD be as few as possible).

The front-end MUST be a Single Page Application built in React and it MUST consume the RESTful APIs of your back-end. For the basic templating you SHOULD use Bootstrap. You MAY use Gulp for the automated building process.

The back-end MUST expose RESTful APIs and it MUST be built in Javascript using Node.js on the Express 4 framework. Instead of using a database, every interaction with the persistance layer SHOULD be mocked properly. All the back-end calls MUST accept just an application/json and MUST respond with the same content type.

You MAY serve static content through Express. You SHOULD NOT pre-render HTML through the back-end.

You MAY manage user creation; otherwise just provide a set of users. Choose your preferred authentication and authorisation model.
