app.post('/api/cities/:id/blurbs', function blurbsCreate(req, res) {
  var cityId = req.params.id;
  var newBlurb = new db.Blurb({
    poster: req.body.poster,
    textContent: req.body.textContent,
    likes: 0,
    imgPath: req.body.imgPath || ""
  });
  db.City.findOne({
    _id: cityId
  },
    function(err, city) {
      city.blurbs.unshift(newBlurb);
      city.save();
    }
  );
  res.json(newBlurb);
});

app.delete('/api/cities/:id/blurbs/:blurbId', function deleteBlurb(req, res) {
  var blurbId = req.params.blurbId;
  var cityId = req.params.id;

  db.City.findOne({
    _id: cityId
  }, 
    function(err, city) {
      city.blurbs = city.blurbs.filter(function(blurb) {
        return blurb._id != blurbId;
      });
      city.save();
    }
  );
  res.send(blurbId);
});

Future Work

---

• Add user accounts, users can only delete their own posts.
• Design process for creating new cities: users can request new cities and after 10 requests new city is generated
• Add tags to posts
• Develop algorithm to display the lastest/most liked blurbs first
