Wins + Challenges:

• A significant portion of the hurdles faced with this project was the practice of merging other's code into our branches and resolving merge conflicts.
• Its difficult to look at code one did not write, interpret what it does, and how to incorporate your own work into it.
• A win was seeing everyone looking out for one another and the sum of the labors coming together for a functional full stack application.
