Book Club

A book review website where user's can write and share reviews for specific books.

Created for my Code Institute Backend Development Milestone Project.

A link to the live site can be found here.

UX

To create a site where user's can easily write, share and read book reviews and find new books they want to read.

To gain experience using Flask and MongoDB to create a full stack site backed by a well designed database.
To create a site where I will be able to find new good books to read.

As a reviewer I want:

An intuitive way to either register a new account or log into my existing account.
An intuitive form for writing my review so I can easily write a new review including:
- Star system to score my review out of 5.
- Large text area to write up my review.
A profile area where I can view the reviews I have written.
A way to edit the reviews I have written so I can change them if I notice mistakes or change my mind about something.
A way to delete reviews I no longer want to be on the website.

As a user (looking to buy a book) I want:

A home page that displays the most recent reviews on the page so I can quickly see some reviews.
A page where all the reviews are shown so I can see all the reviews.
A search bar where I can search for reviews for a specific book I want to read.
An intuitive layout for the page for each review so I can easily gain all the information I need.
A way to upvote reviews I think were good so that other users can have an idea of which reviews are good.
A link from each review to purchase the book so that I can easily buy the book if I decide I want to.

The testing of the site is documented in testing.md

The script in signup-validation.js for checking the passwords match on signup.html was adapted from this jsfiddle.
The code for the login and signup forms and methods was adapted from that used in the Code Institute Back End Development "Task Manager" miniproject.
