The primary objective my application is to provide users with an intuitive interface to add, update, and track their daily tasks, ensuring productivity and task management become seamless. A challange that I faced was integrating the MongoDB database with my Express backend, ensuring data consistency and real-time updates. Additionally, implementing user authentication securely while maintaining a smooth user experience was a hurdle I overcame. I chose to use Express sessions for authentication primarily because it provided a straightforward way to manage user sessions and seemed the easiest to implement, given the application's requirements. I utilized the Materialize CSS framework for its modern design components and responsiveness. To better align with our branding, I made custom modifications, including changing primary color schemes and tweaking card designs for better readability. Lastly I used a few differnt express middlewares:

• Server side logging
• Static page fetching
• MongoDB connection monitoring
• Session cookies
• urlencoding
• JSON body parsing

• Support another hosting service: Added support for Heroku app, seems pretty similar to Glitch, i do like the auto deploy hook from github meaning i no longer have to 'import from github'. Setup was pretty easy, longest thing was setting up the CLI tool.
• 100% Lighthouse Report: Accomplished 100% in all of the lighhouse categories on both the login and main page, i have included a JSON copy of the lighthouse report in the github if it helps
• Added Password Encryption for Storage[5pts]: I do not believe that adding support for password encryption was required, but this is a better stance for password security. This deserves some EC since it does require a little bit of troubleshooting your workflow as there are now nested callbacks which caused issues requiring me to use .then to ensure concurrency.
