Due to shortage of time, I couldn't host the site properly on heroku. There are certain Build issues that I could not resolve given the time. Thus, I would request the user to run the repo in their PCs as a development server.

• Git Clone the repo
• "npm install"
• "npm start"

• A very basic login system has been used. Middleware validation for every request is performed using jwt
• SendGrid API is used for Email Management.
• The user sends the users to invite for a meeting. The server then sends a notification to everyone in the list (which somehow makes its way into the spam folder).
• Two records are created for each such request:
  • Meeting - a new meeting record consisting of the topic, time of the meeting, and members invited is created
  • User - a new entry for the user under meetings array is added consisting of the meetingId from the meetings collection.
• A notification email is also sent back to all members of the meeting once a member accepts the invitation.

• There are a couple of functionalities that I have failed to build in this assignment:
  • Every 30 minute notification for an invited member ( would have used CRON jobs for this )
  • User can see previous meeting ( would have made DB queries, maybe modified the Schema to add a MinutesOfMeeting field )
  • Common meetings b/w 2 or more emails ( DB Queries )
