    Checked proper output from Geolocation API used for auto-detection of location
Sprint 3:

    Set up project to interact with database on MongoDB Atlas and connected the project with the database via Mongoose

Edwin: 

Sprint 1:
    Created the current, previous and the about page. Style every page using CSS flex except the about page that contains CSS grid. 
    Ideated how we will retrieve the API and implement the real data.
Sprint 2:
    Called the API with the unique API key and added various functions using JQuery in the current and previous pages. 
    This allowed the user to get real time data on the weather based on their location.
Sprint 3:
    Due to unforeseen and personal circumstances, Edwin's role was limited in Sprint 3. We agreed as a group that we were comfortable with this and feel he deserves full credit for the assignment.
