Research direction

Inspect the start script that launches src/server.js and check how the development server is currently started. Update it to use nodemon so changes are watched without manually restarting the server, then run the start command and confirm that edits trigger a reload.

Description

enhancement

I noticed you are not hot loading your start script with nodemon.

Consider swapping to this so you can watch your changes without having to restart the server. Will make coding faster, easier and funner :)

"start": "nodemon src/server.js"
