In this series we'll work on improving our existing Node REST API project that we have worked on in the "API Authentication with Node" playlist.

This video 'roughly' outlines what we're going to be working on but I'm open for any suggestions so please let me know if you can think of something that I've missed.

x) Update everything to latest versions
x) Save JWT in cookies instead of localStorage
x) Add refreshTokens
x) Add blacklisting option (to disable some user and render its token useless)
x) Sending emails (verifying sign up, reset password)
x) Reset password
x) Forgot password
x) Rate limiting
x) Maybe change some structure?
x) Refactor something if something is not correct/right as is currently

The main goal of improving the REST API is twofold:
1) It's always nicer to have a better REST API project
and
2) We can then start working on some interesting full-stack projects where we use the improved version as a boilerplate/starting point - so we can focus on writing custom business logic from the 1st video!
