NotSlack API created by Noah Libeskind

This API supports the backend of a workplace messaging app that closely resembles an already existing one used by many professionals, hence the name "Not Slack".

This API is built in the Go language and utilizes helpful packages like Gin from Gin-Gonic and Dave Grijalva's jwt-go package to support the (minimal) security implemented in this API.

*** Below are the various URIs of this API and descriptions of their functionalities ***
