As a user, I want to be able to create new articles and allow guests to retrieve those new articles.

• Initialize the project with npm init, which creates package.json and package-lock.json files. Don't forget to add node_modules to your .gitignore file!
• Use NPM to install ExpressJS and ensure that it's been saved as a dependency in the package.json file.

As a developer, I want to use the ExpressJS framework to set up a server file to handle HTTP requests and deliver responses.

• Instantiate the ExpressJS framework and configure the app.use() middleware to interface with the file system to serve static resources. Include a comment to explain why our files are in a "public" directory now and how ExpressJS serves our local files.
• Ensure that the server is listening for incoming requests. Include a message to let you know on which port your server is running.
• Run the server using node server and ensure that your app functions correctly. If you'd like to have your code live re-load the way that live-server did, install the NPM package nodemon and use that to run your server.

As a user, I want to access the form directly so I can easily add new articles.

• Create a route and callback that will serve up the new.html page via a separate URI.
• As you write your code, use arrow functions and refactor any existing methods to use arrow functions, where possible.

As a user, I want feedback if I have made an error so that I can make sure to always access the correct URL.

• Create a 404 route to handle any requests other than index.html or new.html, and deliver a 404 status and a message to those invalid requests.
