This CMS Blog was made with ReactJS + Redux.
For the backend Node.js + express was used.
MongoDB was used as database to store the posts and the users. Hosted at mlab.
Mongoose was used for MongoDB ORM.
By far the most complicated part was the authentication. For this I used JWT (JSON Web Token) strategy, with the help of passport.js package.
