Quiz Watch is a CRUD Single Page Application flashcards platform which uses the Model View Controller architectural pattern.
Quiz Watch was designed to improve the rate at which you can learn through spaced repetition which is a powerful technique based on the 'Forgetting Curve' theorized by psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 1880's.

The planning involved in this project included:
- Photoshop digital mockups of the website
- Flowcharts of the database and website
- Extensive testings of the reminder function and Moment prior to implementing
- If there are no flashcards due, it displays an empty flashcard
- Add a notification display in the navigation bar to indicate if there are flashcards to do
- Add a user login with various cards for people to try the app without having to sign up
- We did extensive planning and went through 5 iterations of our database until we were happy
- Debriefing each other on not only what we worked on, but why it works and how it works
- Pair programming is awesome
- Creating a PSQL function to auto generate flashcards for new signups
- Understanding how an asynchronous request works in practice like when and where to retrieve specific data on the front
- Familiarizing ourselves with how Github works in a collaborative environment and how to resolve conflicts in code
- Figuring out ways to tackle specific parts of the project without compromising each others code
- Diagnosing issues with express-sessions going from a dev environment to deployment on heroku with regards to permissions/proxy server
