Potluck Planner is a phase 4 project for Flatiron School's software engineering course. It is a full-stack application that makes use of a Flask API backend with a React frontend.
Potluck Planner helps users keep track of family members invited to large family gatherings and the foods that different family members will bring to the event. A user can sign up to make an account and then log in to their account. The event page displays a list of all events that have been created and allows users to create new evenst. After selecting an event, the user can navigate to the Family Members page where they can add family members to the database, keep track of who has been invited, mark family members as being univited, and delete family members from the database. On the Event page, the user can see a list of the family members who have been invited to that particular event. They can also add, change, or delete list items to keep track of the food each family member will be bringing with them.
