starting the work to set up an express server to serve up the maps!

then we can point something like maps.bostondisplacement.org at the little app.

edit: this will close #88

following some docs here: https://github.com/reactjs/react-router/blob/v1.0.0/docs/guides/basics/Histories.md#configuring-your-server

small breaking change, for heroku we want to have npm start start the production server. previously we had npm start initialize the hot-reload webpack dev server. that's been moved to dev-start, which means to start the development server you do npm run-script dev-start.

also previously we had build setup to do the webpack build for production, this has been changed to postinstall (which means that npm will automatically trigger a build of the application after the install finishes).

ok, this is coming along. things seem to be working ok.

the big lift that's left to do is replicating the navigation menu from the jekyll app...
