MESN STARTER PROJECT

Not sure if this MESN stack term is official, I use it according to popular MEAN and MERN stacks. :)

Svelte is gaining popularity lately, very interesting and elegant tool for building lightweight, fast user interface. This is starter project for MESN stack. If you need something more in this project please create issue and I will try to implement it.
