Kitchn Listr app prototype is an app in progress. The purpose of the app is to build a network of seasoned cooks/chefs and private Kitchen owners that want to help eachother grow. There are many chefs out there that need spaces to prepare large quantities of goods and don't have access to the proper space. There are also many kitchen owners that would be willing to lease out their kitchens when they are not in use. This app is the perfect marriage to help fill tha gap. Ideally this app will be a type of Yelp app for comercial kitchens. Where people can list their kitchen for rent. Chefs can rate the kitchens and owners can see those ratings and respond to any expressed concerns or questions.
I started out thinking about the idea for this app, and planning out the architecture and wireframes. That took a couple days to get down the way I wanted it to. After I planned I began to worok on the back end of my app and it took me a while. I ran into some pretty major challeneges trying to implement profile for the user. Once I got through that, I worked on my front end, I started off trying to use Ember but was unable to because I didn't have much time and I was too unfamiliar with ember. Over all I think that this app has great potential.

I had a lot of challenges on the back enf of my projcet, where I spent most of the time on. On the front end I stuggled a bit with handlebars and my events I had a hard time ensuring that I was targting the right data on the back end to render the approprate data on the front end. Due to the time constrains that I had I ended up using the browser template, so in the future I would like to use ember to build another front end.
