Testing

Standard User Flow

1. A user creates an account by going to the sign up page OR logs in if they have already created an account. Either way, the user is signed in.

2. The first page the user sees after signing in is the projects page.

3. On the projects page, the user sees a list of project "cards" from all users and can use the search form at the top to filter projects by tag name or sort projects.

4. From the projects page, on any project card, a user can

• click the heart icon to like/unlike a project,
• click the project name to be taken to the project detail page, or
• click on the project creator's name to be taken to the user's page showing their projects

5. From the project details page, a user can

• view information about the project,
• like/unlike the project, and
• provide/edit feedback about the project
