This is our group project for Project 2 created in the UW Coding Bootcamp. On the front-end, the app can be accessed at Heroku. On the back-end, this is a node command line application that utilizes sequilize, dotenv, mysql2, express, handlebars, dayjs, and bcrypt. The Motivation Station is an app where users can keep track of their goals. They are able to create an account and post their goals. They are also able to comment on other user’s goals.
As a… person who has a number of life goals
I want to… be able to access an app to keep track of my goals, look at other people’s goals on the app, and be able to comment on other’s goals
So that… I can stay motivated to keep my goals
