A fabulous place for sharing (and selling) original content. The responsive application allows creators of original works to upload their work (books, zines, comics, etc.) to a central marketplace, for reading by other users (consumers) of the application. Users can view their profile, which will show books they've uploaded, and other pertinent information. Consumers are able to search the marketplace by various criteria, in order to identify items of interest to them. Consumers can then view the item, or download. Consumers are able to leave reviews of the items they have read through which the creators can learn and improve their offerings.
The application is deployed through Heroku, using Kitefin to provide the mysql database.
The application is intuitive for users. Simply register and then log-in. Once logged in, a User can upload works they have created or interact with items uploaded by other users.
The application is deployed at: https://p2bookboard.herokuapp.com/ although there are issues with the deployment at this point in time.
The Git repository for the applicaton is held at: https://github.com/Cancer2806/BookBoard

Thinh Ho, Vinitha Gowtheepan and Frank Lavery shared in the creation of this applicaion.
Kitefin and Heroku were used for deploying the application to the Web, although this is not quite working for us at the moment. Express, Sequelize, bCrypt, Handlebars, Multer, pdf-poppler are dependencies for the application.
