Straight Card Homies Web App

As I was creeping up to my fourth project week here at Flatiron school, I knew I had to figure out what kind of app I was going to build. As my very first full stack web app, I knew it had to be something practical, yet useful. I didn’t want to build some random app just to fulfill the requirements for project 4. So I started to ask the people around me if they had any ideas that would be cool. As I was working my part time job, I asked my manager (who runs a side business looking for rare/valuable sports cards and then sells them on ebay) if he had any ideas. He mentioned a website where he could list what cards he had available for sale, so he could then post the link on his social media account and advertise his cards. So this could be easily done with just without a backend. I would have to hard code each photo into HTML each time he wanted to upload a new one, or delete one. So I took it a step further, why not add a back end to it, so i could save all the cards to a database and then dynamically render the cards into HTML on the page? I even took it another step further, I could add certain email and passwords to the database, so if validated on the app, the ‘admin’ could add cards to the database, and delete one! This app was a test of my javascript skills to work with and manipulate the DOM, I heavily enjoyed building out this application, and I am excited for it to go live!
