coLab is a team building platform for community projects.
The frontend for this application can be found here.
coLab uses Ruby on Rails as the framework for building the backend. coLab leverages sqlite3 as the database for Active Record. The frontend of the application is built using React providing the UI for members to fetch and change data from the backend.
