Notes and Recommendations from @Maxxxxxx-x

We should ensure that our users' data and our server is as safe as possible.

• If you are using npm, run npm audit and check for vulnerabilities.
• Use the latest available packages if possible.
• Trust no body, not even your parents. All users's input should be validated and sanitized regardless of the user's role.
• We will not be the safest thing on the internet but let's at least be safer than 阿莫's order form. 🤧
• Please remember to serialize all inputs provided by the user.
• Please remember to include the token into the Auth header (eg: bearer <token>)
• SECRET
