This application was built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, MySQL, NPM, Handlebars, Github and Heroku . We chose to utilize the CSS framework Bootstrap. For the REST Api we used TheDogApi. Our app is hosted on Github and Heroku.
In the future IWolfuU will be adding more features. This includes using the Petfinder Api. Adding this Api will allow users to access more information about the dogs ranging from location, to a specific breed. With access to the dogs location a MapApi will be installed as well.
Our users will be able to upgrade their profiles by adding pictures, a description, social media links, and directly message others. Lastly, iwoulfu will also upgrade the carousel to display more information and become more interactive.
