I made it mobile responsive, because a lot of shoppers are on phones. She has a very prominent Instagram presence, and really needs a mobile friendly site, so her followers can go from her cute Instagram page to her cute mobile site. I gave it a simpler design as well. I saw that it wasn't quite as simple as it could have been, and I decided to leave a couple of the things she has on her live site out of my clone, because I felt that those things were not necessary. I love her designs, and I think the basis of her website, and the color scheme and the basic layout is really cute. I kept the cute pink color, and I kept the peony idea, and I used all of her designs and her descriptions and prices to keep the essence of her and the great designer that she is.

Points are not only distributed by correct answers, but also by how quickly a user can answer each question. RoboRace was effectively created as a group, where each member was assigned tasks to contribute to the application. Team meetings were scheduled daily to ensure continuity, productivity, and fluid integration when code merging occurred. Socket.io was utilized to create our real-time engine, and by integrating a room key feature, users can connect and communicate amongst each other and the application in a private setting. With fairness in mind, Cron timers were also integrated into our Socket code to ensure that each user received the trivia questions at the exact same time. We applied React as the front-end framework of RoboRace. Using JavaScript, React allowed us to create our functionality and then effortlessly write additional JSX code to display our components. Node.js and Express were implemented on the back-end for handling all of the RESTful API requests and connecting to cloud-based PostgreSQL databases so that necessary user information could be stored. Finally, through the use of Material UI, CSS, and media queries, RoboRace has a fun and colorful theme while still being intuitive and easy to navigate.
