This is a final project of Technigo's boot camp spring '22. We wanted to build a pet app to connect pet owner and pet sitters. The app was created by using React, Redux, Style Components for front-end and Node.js, MongoDb, Express.js for back-end.

The project was made by Kristiina Kolu and Suki Nhung Phan.

1. Clone the project to your local environment:

git clone https://github.com/kolkri/final-project.git

2. Move to the frontend folder:

cd frontend

3. Install all the dependencies:

npm install

4. Run the project on your local server:

npm start

• Our stretch goal was to build a chatbot to help the users communicate with each others. We have already set up the basic back-end. The idea is to use the PATCH method to update the text message and store them in an array. Later on, in front-end, we will filter the message by using userID and display them based on the time when the message is sent.

• Putting more time to the responsive desing and the styling

• Adding possibility to upload a profile picture (now we are just asking a link to the picture). We managed to convert the uploaded images to base64 format and display them on the logged in page. However, after delpoying the heroku link the app ran very slowly, we think that this was maybe because of the large size of images. After running out of time, we decided to stay just with the image link.

• We could also combine and simplify our styled components, because we are using the same styling in several pages.
