To run locally:

1) Download this repo
2) Type the following commands into a terminal (in the same directory that this file resides in):
   export DATABASE_URL=postgres://sjcsiatwgpcqlp:85c103da013b504690d45b859858ee11f0bd8206eb15fc6884e15aa7fabf65a4@ec2-54-197-234-33.compute-1.amazonaws.com:5432/d7pusuiupekkr0
   export GMAIL_PASSWORD=foobar123
   flask run
3) Go to http://localhost:5000 in a web browser
Note: The 'Send Message' functionality won't work because our password isn't foobar123 (*gasp*)

Design and Approach

Our team designed this application based on the Agile Methodology. We held weekly meetings where we discussed the different features we wished to implement by the end of the following week. To keep track of our ideas and progress, we heavily relied on Trello. At the end of each week, our team used IdeaBoardz to re-evaluate how our sprint went - the good aspects, the bad aspects, and what we could change (to remove the bad aspects). Our application went through two versions (see below) and as of now, we have V3 hosted on Heroku.
