Adam, you did a great job overall with this project. It is well documented and showcases your skill in Django and as an engineer in general. I also appreciate that you were able to work around and work through the database issues that you had on your localserver with SQL lite. I can't wait to see what you come up with in next Week's LambdaMUD project.

Nice, I appreciate that you have a link to your project in here
| **Which docs did you think were the most helpful?** | ||
| The official Django documentation was very useful for a first-timer. They have an extensive documentation that can be as shallow or as deep as you choose. In addition to the docs, there is a large community of coders that contribute to community blog posts and mailing lists that can help further your understanding. Everything is laid out in a way that is accessible, and it is easy to find what you are looking for. | ||

| All in all, this project has given me a larger toolkit to consider when choosing to build web applications. Being able to deploy to the web using Python is a useful skill indeed, as Python is one of the most widely used languages [in the world](https://pypl.github.io/PYPL.html). |

| In addition to Heroku's logging capabilities, they also have the ability to congifure [custom Webhooks](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/app-webhooks) that can send notifications for events that happen in an application or dyno. By using Webhooks, you can stay aware of major application changes even while you're away from your development machine. Or, you could even deploy your own site-monitoring application that receives Webhooks from multiple applications, and monitor all of your development activity from one place. | ||

| Heroku's architecture is very developer focused, as all of these impressive features come standard with every account. I was a bit hesitant about Heroku at first, as I'm so used to managing everything when it comes to server deployment, but their integration with Git and their extensive list of features make Heroku an attractive platform for the hobbyist or professional developer. |

Awesome job stretching with these Heroku comments, you really put a lot into this project.
