# Make a NodeJS rest api
## Why do this tutorial
I was searching a long time ago about how to make my own boilerplate for nodejs. I hate when I take something from someone else and don't know what happen.
I create this tutorial for helping people to make their own rest api and maybe use it as your boilerplate
## Features

- User can delete is own post and update it
- User can follow an other one
- User get notification on following new post
