My hope is that down the line Libra will enable +members of house to easily track down other members that have particular skillsets and then take that step to learn those skills. Sometimes it could be +something simple like Python that many people on floor understand. Other times it could be some obscure framework that one guy managed to incorporate into +a peanut dispensing app. Regardless, it is useful having a place where you can track this stuff down. + +Libra in its current state allows users to create, edit, and delete their own skills, see a list of all users that have entered skills into the site, and +search for specific skills. + +I loved learning frontend and although I had a lot of trouble, I was able to also learn how to properly communicate and post information to a MySQL database using Python. + +I hope to continue to improve the site and add more features until it is a fully fleshed out and much more viable product. Also, my frontend design is really poor presently +and could use a lot of work.
