REST API that saves everything you can imagine.
You just think about a collection name and add an item to it by sending a POST request with body data.
Then you can manipulate items of a collection.

You need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) to run the server locally.
You can install it via [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm).

```bash
git clone git://github.com/kr1sp1n/hotcoffee.git
