Project week March 2019. Saltiest Hacker News Trolls group 1

Re: Git Workflow

Customer Spec

Pitch: Build an app that uses Hacker News comment data to rank commenters based on negative comment sentiment (saltiness).

MVP: App rates and ranks hacker news commenters by negativity of comment sentiment (limited to commenters who have made x number of posts). Allows users to search by username to view comments and sentiment levels of specific users.

Stretch Goal: App also displays the sentiment of individual comments by user allowing drilldown to a user view.

ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES

Here is where I would like each teams required environment variables stored. Since we all work on this file, I want you to clone it. Then right before you add a variable it want you to run get pull in this repo, to make sure you are not deleting eachothers on your local machine. Then add the variable you need, git commit and git push right away. These will go directly to master

If the environment variable is something private just enter the NAME= and then include a link on the next line where the user can sign up for that key. Remember to keep all secrets secret.
