About:

• Goal was to create a tool for small businesses to create their own giftcards to improve business.
• I thought about the idea when I was working at a restaurant and some customers wanted to buy a giftcard, at the time we didn't have a system set up in place to do that so my boss ended up just signing a voucher. I started to think about how small businesses don't have infrastructure in place to create a giftcard system compared to larger corporations. So I started to work on a web application that could empower small businesses.
• Although there are some issues with the idea as a whole I decided to work on it as a small web development project on the side and use it locally at the restaurant to see how well it works and further improve it.

Plans for the Future:

• Programatically create giftcards and codes to be printed.
• Adapt to a phone application

How to Set Up:

• Enter folder directory and npm install
• Enter your own google-oauth and mongodb api keys into a file called config.env and put that file into the config folder with the following variable names
• Run NPM dev and enter the application through localhost:3000
