October 1, 2020 Re-launch website with MDBootstraps CSS

Too much of our feedback was on how ugly or website was ( and too much time was being wasted trying to make things line up and work with our simple CSS templet). We bite the bullet and recreate all 16 HTML pages using a bootstrap package. We clearly waited too long todo this. But we learned a ton about html/css development trying to make everything we wanted from scratch and it was super easy to transition to bootstraps and make a pretty website.

September 1, 2020 Launched MVP to friends+family+social media

We finished our MVP and launched it on our social media's and reached out to our friends to see the product. Our total lack of Frontend/Design experience means this thing is ugly. We are sticking to the mantra of "if you are not embarrassed by your launch you launched too late" We understand the importance of validating this thing as quickly as possible and not wasting time working on things people wont actually want.

June 14, 2020 Pratik and Chris Team up

Pratik tries his hardest to not pitch the idea while asking if it's something Chris would be interested in working on. Chris ends up excitingly agreeing to join 2 days later. Still lots of ideas on what direction to go, but some type of Corporate ethics tool for consumer's is the idea.
