💠 Project's goal:

Matcha is a Hive's School project. The idea here is to build a dating app.
Starting from the frontend to the backend and handling all Geolocation matters as well.
The project goal is to learn the use of micro-frameworks and the ability to build
a big web application that can be available for many users simultaneously.

Additionally, the web app should be working in real time. Meaning that any updates
happens to any user, should render in the app right away like in the real world applications.

• Email verification
• User token created and stored into the user's browser
• User profile info form
• User pictures form
• Displaying other users according to the current user's country and interests
