User stories

MVP

• As the user, I want to have a well-designed, clean interface that is easy to understand and navigate.
• As the user, I want multiple pages to see and/or organize the data that is entered. (CRUD routes)
• As the user, I want to add as many boardgames to the collection as I would like.
• As the user, I want to add an image of the game. (either with URL or multer. Need to research)
• As the user, I want to add a description, list how many players can play, and the average playtime of each game.
• As the user, I want to edit or delete the entries I put in the collection.
• As the user, I want to add reviews and ratings on each game.
• As the user, I want to edit or delete the reviews and ratings.
• As the user, I would like a Homepage with User authentication/login.

Stretch Goals

• As the user, with a login, I want to have my personal game collection with all the MVP goals attached to that profile.
• As the user, I would like to filter my collection by rating, number of players, playtime, or category.
• As the user, I would like access a database of existing games and use that data for my entries.
• As the user, I would like to add games to a Wishlist page.
• As the user, regarding the Wishlist, I would like the option to link buying options.
• As the user, regarding the Wishlist, I would like to prioritize my wishlist.
• As the user, I would like to have the option to archive the games in my collection (purpose: if I no longer have a game, but do not wish to fully delete it from my virtual collection yet)
• As the user, I would like to post entries and/or access a global forum or game review board to see the averaged ratings.
• As the user, I would like to have a unique page that displays the games on a bookshelf and have the names/links to show page in the shape of game board boxes on the shelf.
• As the user, I would like interesting, smooth page transition animations (SWUP?)
• As the user, I would like to have the ability to share my collection with friends.
