Acknowledgments:

This project originally started as a group collaboration during my time at the Flatiron Software Engineering Boot Camp. My initial team members were Alice Hepburn, Jon Rosenblum and Bushra Yazmin. We used a combination of React, Flask, SQLite, and SQL databases for the project.

However, I decided to take on the challenge of revamping the entire project myself, and I completely restructured it using Node.js and MongoDB, introducing new technologies and a different approach to meet our project goals.
