  2. Search functionality and search screen for searching teams/users/competitions

bug fixes

  1. More robust frontend for matching (create team, navigation)
  2. Ability to remove skills chips in edit profile screen
  3. Ability to leave a team
  4. Animation glitch in the matching sliders (We think this is an issue with react-native-slider package)
  5. Refactor redux to cache more network requests.
