Introduction and technologies.

A webapp built to store your own and other users business cards for life.
Built in Ruby following CRUD operations this webapp makes use of a PostgreSQL database ontop of the sinatra DSL framework.
Client-side programmed using HTML & CSS.
API integration also seen through the below:

• Google's reCAPTCHA: upon user sign up for verification of humanitiy.
• Cloudinary: used to upload user logo's to the cloud.
• goQR.me: creates a qr code to point to the url of the users card.

Installation instructions

1. PSQL database must be created and named: business_card
2. Create tables following the schema.sql file stored in the db directory.
3. Optional: Make use of ruby files (dummy_cards.rb & dummy_users.rb) for import of dummy data.
4. Install gems as seen in Gemfile.

Design

• Database:
  

• Wireframe (Homepage & CardList):
  
  

• Flowchart (Sign in / sign up):
  

Future aspirations

1. Database to include a field which when true will make the card non-searchable to other users.
   • This will inturn allow users to have 'private' business cards only shareable via the QR code.
2. Pagination for card results over 10 items.
3. Responsive design for mobile.
