Final Project

Overview

In this project, you will work on a project to tie together everything you have learned up to now in the semester.

Objectives

The purpose of this project is to create a fully functioning "real-time application".

This project is largely open ended. The only requirement is to satisfy all parts of the Specifications section below, which are broad and flexible. Outside of that, you are free to be creative and make something you are proud of. You may choose to do the same topic as you did for your midterm, or choose something different.

Grading

You fill submit both the application source as well as a documentation.md file that documents how you implemented each part of the project.

Grading will be done using the documentation.md file to test your application.

Each specificiation has two types of requirements:

• (REQ): These are requirements must be followed. Failue to do so can result in up to 50% point deductions for the entire project.
• (X pt): These specifications are worth X points.

   Users will need to be able to add data to your local storage, and have live updates and a notification system.

Submission

We will be Heroku Heroku to submit one link per project.

At the top of your project, include the Heroku link (ex: https://myapp.herokuapp.com) at the top of your documentation.md file.

Submit just the documentation.md file to the submit server.
