Building a Web App Using Sinatra
As my second project for Flatiron School Software Engineering, I was asked to make a web application using Sinatra and ActiveRecord. Kickflip is a tool for skateboarders to use to track and find local skateparks, show their friends when they get a new trick, and encourage return use with a "checkin" feature.
