About

Gif Search displays gifs in a grid format using Tenor's API. This is the bootstrap branch that I did solo to get more experience with front end technologies. To see the group variant done with Megan O'Bryan please refer to the master branch. I used Bootstrap to build the front end of the website. Flask and Jinja were used to build the backend.
