Chitter Challenge

This is my Makers weekend challenge for week 4.

(:art: Notes on styling: I experimented with css styling a bit, being heavily influenced by this video)

⚠️ I have noticed some edge cases, but don't have time to fix them so hopefully I'll come back to this and fix them another time. To be aware what they are:

Putting quotation marks or an apostrophe will cause and error on forms.
Too many characters in certain form feilds will cause an error. :warning:
