Almost MEAN, actually I'm looking to build a note-sharing application for my colleagues at university. I already have some experience with React and after a bit of research I decided to lock the MERN stack, it will be my first solo (outside of university) experience on the backend in general and I do have 2-3 people with a low amount of knowledge of CS in general.

First of all, if anyone has a good reference for such a platform, simple file exchange (pdfs, docs, md), those are always welcome, but my main concern is creating the big picture and delegating tasks so we move as efficiently as possible. It makes the most sense to give the easiest task to people with the least experience, however, given my limited experience in building a full-stack application from scratch I'm having doubts about almost everything. I do have experience as a SCRUM master and PM, but it was for a creative media project.

Any advice, from reference, to stack, to how should we go about our team effort is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the time and have a great day everyone:)
