The web application is designed to provide a one stop portal for both drinks industry professionals and consumers, to share, comment and rate drink specifications. Users will be able to view recipes without logging in, but if they have an account they can upload drinks and recipes, comment on and rate others, as well as follow people whos uploads they are interested in. The web app will provide a search feature for specific drinks, as well as a list of all uploaded drinks and a view of the top-rated ones. So users looking for a specific drink are catered to as well as those just browsing. The user profiles will show, if wanted by the user, email for further communication as well as a profile picture for familiarity.
