Logz.io FED Interview Exercise

The main idea of this exercise is to create a website comments component.
A mockup is ready as a reference to the style (in the file mockup.png inside the repo), and a basic server API is at your service, so you should have all you need to start.

The minimum requirements are as follows :

• Design the comments component like the mockup.
• Add the 'submit' functionality - A user will enter an email and message, and the comment will be added to the list below. The list should be ordered by date.
• A gravatar will be added to the 'comment' object created (get the matching gravatar from: https://en.gravatar.com/)
• When a user enters text in the filter input, it will filter the comments accordingly.
• Add server side validation to the submitted comment.
• No need to use any kind of db or persistency.
• Do not use any UI/CSS framework (i.e.: bootstrap)
• Do not send the node_modules directory back, and do not commit it. It is not needed (and you shouldn't have any changes there anyway).

Additional Notes :

• Use an MVC framework of choice - AngularJS, Backbone, Ember, etc.
• Make sure all code is clean and testable, as you would commit it to production.
• You can use other known js libraries as you see fit.
• You should work on this exercise ~2-3 hours, not more. I assume you won't complete everything in this time frame, and that's ok - The idea is to see some code you worked on, and not to have a perfect working project that's production ready. (Perfect is the enemy of good)

For Bonus Points :

• Design a responsive layout.
• Add unit tests.
• Save the newly added comments on the client, so they will be saved when refreshing the page.

How to use the code :

1. Clone the repo.
2. Run npm install (to download all relevant dependencies)
3. Run npm start (to start the server)
4. Open your browser and go to 'http://localhost:3000'
