NoozMe

About

For my web application, I was interested in creating a succinct and organized version of news sharing that tied in a subscriber element to the experience. This sparked my desire to build, NoozMe. NoozMe lets the user browse articles quickly while also allowing them to build a mini-museum of saved articles that other users can view.
