Technologies Used

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap
• Backend: PostgreSQL, Express, Sequelize
• Version Control: Git
• Other Libraries: multer, aws-sdk

Challenges

• Heroku deployment with AWS and multer causes certain technical issues when not set up right
• Getting table to display books in order after a new one has been added
• Implementing a standard naming convention for the routes at the start

What I'd Do Differently

• Routes could be named better - in accordance to the functionality of the route
• Deployment to be done as soon as MVP was up, issues arise when there are other technologies at play eg. AWS, dealing with keys and secrets etc.
• Have a universal unique ID for each book, rather than for each user
• Spend less time on home ad page, and more other features of the app like abiltiy to sort table
