Would You Rather Project

This is the code for the final assessment project for Udacity's React & Redux course.

In the "Would You Rather?" Project, we'll build a web app that lets a user play the “Would You Rather?” game. The game goes like this: A user is asked a question in the form: “Would you rather [option A] or [option B] ?”. Answering "neither" or "both" is against the rules.

Also this app allows users to impersonate/log in as existing users to answer existing polls, create new polls, and see other users' scores on the leaderboard.

It's built with React, Redux, React Router, and React Thunk
