Project Tech assignment

From the project tech repository:

In Project Tech you'll build a dynamic prototype of a web application. In different roles you take a well-argued position on, among other things, the privacy and security aspects of the application. You'll also learn to navigate the command line, version control with Git & GitHub and make sure code style is consistent.

The web application is a dating app to find a serious relationship. For my project I have to decided to focus this on gamers. This will be my starting point. Some ideas I have about an dating app for gamers:

• Matching using the players favorite game and play time in games
• Matching people according to game genres
• Finding new friends to play with in addition to dating

Working feature

• Creating a account
• Sing in to an existing account
• Searching a game to add to your profile(but not adding it)
