Thank you for applying for a front end developer role at ClearScore.
We hope that you find this task fun and not to worry, there are no trick questions; we want to see your solution to a simple problem with well structured and thought-out code. We love to see unique solutions so if you're a developer that has a flare for CSS animations or a penchant for procedural programming then feel free to incorporate these skills.
Build an idea board that allows a user to create new ideas, edit existing ideas or delete them. Each idea should be represented as a tile on the board that displays a title, description and created/updated time. The title and description should be editable inline. The description text should have a max length of 140 characters. There should also be a button on the tile that allows for it to be deleted.
When working through the task you should treat it as if you're writing real world production code. We're looking to see a test suite, comments where required and an attention to detail. In addition to this you may use whatever libraries or packages you wish. This should take you around two or three hours to complete fully but feel free to spend as much or as little time on the exercise as you like. Detail anything you didn't get around to completing in the COMMENTS.md file along with any other additonal information we should be aware of when reviewing the code.
- Page should be fully responsive.
- Each idea tile should contain a title and description, which is editable, as well as created/updated time.

- Utilise the localStorage API to persist current state when the page is refreshed.
