This website allows you to log your contacts persistently. You log into the application with your github account, and once you are logged in you have access to your contact book. You will be able to see some of your github info and a table of all your contacts. You can add new contacts, and edit/delete existing contacts. Contacst have a name, a phone number, and a country. I used the bootstrap css framework
