Memebers Only

This is a simple web application that allows users to sign up, create messages, and join a private club.

The app also includes membership functionality, where users can join the club by entering a secret passcode.

Features

• User Registration: Users can sign up for an account by providing their full name, email (used as username), and password.

• Secure Password Storage: User passwords are securely stored using bcrypt encryption.

• Membership System: Users can join the private club by entering a secret passcode, which verifies their membership status.

• User Authentication: Users can log in to their accounts using their registered email and password.
