// about this project
What it does and how I built it
A members-only experience for Rochester's cigar enthusiasts. The public marketing site showcases 24/7 access, personal humidor storage, and events. The authenticated members area powers dashboards, cigar profiles, a member directory, and RSVPs. The admin panel lets ownership manage members, events, invites, and announcements.
