Build an API for a social network web application where users can share their thoughts, react to friends’ thoughts, and create a friend list. I'm using Express.js for routing, a MongoDB database, and the Mongoose ODM. In addition to using the Express.js and Mongoose packages, I'm going to use a JavaScript date library or the native JavaScript `Date` object to format timestamps.
