That was a good review in writing markdown :-)

* Firebase Authentication
* Firebase Firestore
* [Owlbot API](https://owlbot.info/) (for dictionary queries)
* [Wordnik API](https://developer.wordnik.com/) (to get "word of the day" functionality - still waiting to obtain the api key)

I would make sure you have a backup for this (sometimes API services are notorious for taking a while/being unsupported). Also, you shouldn't expose this API key in the React app. It should be hidden behind a web service of some sort, particularly if you're using a paid subscription. If you're on the free tier, it doesn't matter as much.

## Elevator Pitch
For the final project, I would like to create a dictionary word search and word memorization application - This application allows users to search words from the owlbot dictionary api, then add select words to their collection to review later. Words in the users collection can be reviewed as flashcards or as dynamically generated tests. This a handy application for individuals to both look up the meanings of words and then review those words later to improve their vocabulary.

The main inspiration for this application comes from existing websites like dictionary.com and quizlet.com. Quizlet.com is application that allows you to create your own flashcards and quizzes. I'm hoping to make a simplified version of this by using pre-existing data from the owlbot api and focusing specifically on words rather than other types of media which is allowed on quizlet.com
