The Land Use Checklist

The Land Use Checklist is an app that provides a convenient location to track the status of application requirements for land use and zoning applications. When a user signs up or logs in to an existing account, they are brought to their home page, where they can see a list of all land use projects they are working on and a list of all tasks they have been assigned for those projects. Users can create new projects, edit existing projects, add other users as team members for a project, and create or edit project tasks.

This is a full-stack application that was created as a final project for Flatiron School's software engineering course. It makes use of a Flask backend using Flask-SQLAlchemy and SQLite, and it has a React frontend that uses Material UI components for added functionality and styling.
