This ReadMe is here to summarize the Digital Glove Box app we've created for DevPoint Labs. The purpose of this application is to be a one stop shop for all of your vehicles information, a "Digital Glove Box" for you to access anytime, anywhere. When things go wrong, we have the information that matters most (for your car).
Our team includes Emily Pena, Qi Cao, Thomas Gaston, and Seth Wheeler, Full-Stack Developers looking to make the world a better place through software development.
NOTE: This app was created using rails for backend and react for front end. For details on what libraries I used please check the gems file for Rails , and package.json in the client folder for React.
