Lyricks

Lyricks generates decorative cards with a user's favorite song lyrics.

It allows the user to:

• create cards by entering a title and song lyrics
• select an icon to adorn a card
• select the card's text color and font
• make the card public or private
• add genre tags to a card
• view other users' public cards (but not edit/delete their cards)
• browse cards by genre
• edit/delete user profile
• upload a profile picture

Lyricks also includes basic model tests using RSpec.
