How jstmejosh/realtimeboardbackend works

RealTimeBoard is a Node.js backend for account authentication and room-scoped collaborative boards. The main workflows are REST-based signup, email verification, login, and password recovery; board creation and paginated history retrieval; and authenticated Socket.io room joining, messaging, editing, and deletion. Controllers and socket handlers own the operations that read and write the user, board, and message models. The README documents these capabilities; some unsampled modules are shown at their exact tree paths, with only documented or source-supported connections included.
