#Retaind

####A Memory Retention Program

What are your plans, what are your dreams, what are your aspirations, and why do you keep forgetting about them? Retaind is a revolutionary new web app that allows you to write down your plans and be reminded of them via email a day, a week, or a month later. Remember when you spent three hours googling cooking classes and then never followed up on it? No? Well Remindr does!

• This is app allows you to set reminders to keep track of all your delusions of self-improvement.
• Plus, you can find our app on Heroku at Retaind.

###How Does Our App Work? -JavaScript Functionality

• Users start by signing up for the app at the login screen with their email address, where we use http basic to create a token, using encryption (bcrypt with eat).
• Once logged in, users can select the goal or idea they want to be reminded of and when they want to get an email notificaiton.
• lib directory includes our auth logic js files, time js files and handling error js file.
• models directory is where our user schema for MongoDB is located.
• public directory includes our front-end facing HTML, CSS and js for client or user interaction, including our dashboard.
• routes directory contains our REST API / CRUD routes to ensure the best possible experience for our app users.
• server.js represents our REST API server.
• The mocha command runs our local Mocha / Chai tests in the test directory.
