MintApps - Node.js Server component

This repo provides this server component (based on Node.js), see INSTALL.md for installation instructions.

Purpose

The MintApps contain an optional server component which serves the following purposes:

1. Synchronization between multiple guests in cooperative apps, such as quiz games
2. Saving your own activities, such as self-created quiz games

In other words, this means that the server component is only required by some selected apps.
