###Acknowledgements

• We would like to acknowledge Chris Sevilleja (@sevilayha) on scotch.io for his tutorial on authentication with Node.js

###The Problem

• Tuft's dining needs a better way to receive feedback and suggestions for their menu.

###The Solution

• A site that compiles Tuft's dining hall menus and lets students up and down vote items on the menu (similar to Yik-Yak's interface). The site will also provide a section for users to provide their own suggestions, which can then be up and down voted.

###Features:

• Server-side persistent data that is the storage of rankings from up and down votes. Also stores user's favorite foods based on foods they have upvoted multiple times.
• Front-end framework (Bootstrap)
• Graphs and charts showing most upvoted/favourited/served items
• Data scraping - obtaining daily menus from Tufts Dining site
• Geolocation - Site only available within Tufts Campus
• Main page refreshed daily that lists all items available for the day using up and down vote system
• All-time page that lists all-time popular daily items based on cumulative number of upvotes from daily section
• User suggestions section featuring food item recommendations written by users using up and down vote system
• Email/push notifications when your suggestions receive upvotes and when your favorite food will be offered

###Data

• Server-side persistent data that is the storage of rankings from up and down votes. Also stores user's favorite foods based on foods they have upvoted multiple times.

###Algorithms

• We will formulate an algorithm that determines the time-frame that user suggestions will remain visible in their section

1. "Data scraping" --scrape what? Be VERY careful --this will get ugly real fast
2. WAY too ambitious. Lots of features. You will be lucky to implement 2 or 3 or them well.
3. Overall score: 13 / 15
