Developer experience

[arnaudbenard]

We started a conversation about developer experience (DX) throughout the project:

Talking about DX (Developer Experience), it would also be good to standardize the way
we start each server.
Right now, it’s `npm start` for the api, `npm run dev` for the mobileapp 
and `node server` for the website.

Also the default user of the db is philmod.

I have started laying some groundwork with the reset script (https://github.com/OpenCollective/opencollective-api/pull/38) but it needs some polishing. Indeed, you will get an error because Stripe already registered the email ops@opencollective.com.

Things to take into account

mobileapp

• [Development] We run npm run dev, it will run the watch commands for the js/css and start the local server (no auto-reload here). It will run these commands in parallel with the help of foreman.
• [Production] Heroku will run npm install that will trigger the postinstall hook (npm run build). Then Heroku will run the Procfile which runs the command npm start

  api

• [Development] We run npm start. I usually do nodemon . if I need autoreload (https://github.com/remy/nodemon)
• [Production] Runs the Procfile with node index.js

The difference between mobileapp and api is that we need to compiled the assets in development for the mobileapp.

@xdamman suggested having npm start --autoreload flag. I'm not sure how to implement that yet. It's easier for me to have a separate command for now.

I think that having npm start everywhere is a good idea.

I'm also up to have standard https://www.getpostman.com/ scripts for all the devs
