Deliveriable 1:

Outline of the Application we will be building:
 - Post an anonymous note about a subject or event you are interested in and would like to start a conversation about (during this process the user will fill a field with the general subject of their note eg. Olympics2020).
 - Once the note is sent, you will receive a note with the same or closely related to your notes general subject sent by another (random) user and you may respond if you are interested in the notes topic.
 - Likewise a different user will recieve your note and will respond if they are interested in your notes topic. 
 - After someone receives your note (or you recieve someone's note), it changes into a chat platform between the two of users while keeping both users personal details anonymous.
 - The chat lifetime is entirely up to users, as long as they keep replying within a defined timeframe, the chat remains.
 - This platform's goal is to create a conversations between people who are interested in a common event or subject.

  - Withing the chat, each user is identified by their nickname. To keep the anonymity aspect, emails are not disclosed
- Login system:
  - We have a signin system and a register system both are achieved by fetching and putting data to our database.
  - We also have feedback system for the client, to mention what state their account is in such as if our system successfully 
    registered their account, if the client logged in with the correct creditials or why their login didn't work.
- Information stored and retrieved from DDB
- Fully functional API to access data
