Todos

• learn how to use redux for state management (could use context api, but I would like to learn the react/redux workflow)
• when authenticated disable login/signup on navbar
• implement a map api that fetches rental location
• back end should interpret a user's address and change it to coordinates
• hosting your home should have auth when submitting
• create rental model/controller/routes
• create booking model/controller/routes
• truncate description if long on rental cards
• implement a messaging system between buyer and seller
• create message model/controller/routes
• finish front-end (make sure front-end and back-end auth routes are protected)
• finish back-end using mongoDB, mongoose, and express

Bugs

• fix auth error action when visiting page for the first time
• google maps loads twice when requesting it for the first time

Ideas

• host page should have icons for better user experience
• on the homepage the hero can have a moving background
• call-to-action then footer
• 5 star rating system
