For this group project we created and app that allows users to practice their trivia skills to become the ultimate trivia wizard! A user can select their category, and the app populates 20 questions related to the chosen topic. The questions by default hide the answers, and allow the user to show the answer once they have decided on a guess. It also allows the user to favorite a question to be saved on a 'favorites' page. This favorites page stores questions from across any quiz while the user is visiting the site. The user can also remove a card from favorites at any time. If the user decides they want to switch categories, they can return to home, and select a new category.

Overview

The LGBTQ+ community faces unique challenges when it comes to finding safe and welcoming shelters, especially for youth. Our app aims to bridge this information gap by allowing community members to submit safe shelter information through our app, which is then added to an API that we are building. Additionally, users can leave reviews based on their experiences at these shelters to provide valuable insight for those seeking safe and inclusive shelter options.

Usage

Our app is designed to be easy to use and navigate. Users can view a list of safe shelters, leave reviews on their experiences, and submit new shelter information through the app. Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive space for all members of the LGBTQ+ community to access the resources they need.
