Make a simple, elegant, and responsive design.
Use MongoDB to practice NoSQL.
Add authentication and other security features.

While I enjoy building projects with React, the framework abstracts away a lot of what is going on behind the scenes. React will be with us for many more years, but I doubt it will outlast JS and developers can be asked to work on a new framework, and so I believe it is important to practice our JS skills to keep them sharp and enable us to transition to new projects seamlessly.

There is a rise in the use of NoSQL, and I wanted to improve my abilities by using MongoDB and Mongoose for this project. I still prefer to use SQL technologies to build larger and more complex projects, but MongoDB was a great choice to quickly build an MVP.
