User Feedback on API-Capstone MVP
I asked three different people to use my app; two of these, I observed. I did not give any instructions to my users and simply asked them to spend some time exploring the app. What follows is a summary of their feeback.
For the most part, my users found the app interesting and valuable. It helped that my app relates to the upcoming 2020 presidential election, and all three of my users have a strong interest in this.
My users were able to navigate the app as intended, but two indicated that I should provide a list of candidates to choose from. No bugs or broken features were encountered, but there was some confusion about whether to enter first names, last names or both into the search box. In general, the app is very simple to use, and my users had few problems with it.
In conclusion, I understood from the user feedback that it was critical to add a list of candidate names to choose from, and I am working on this.

API Capstone Project Proposal
My app will help users access data from the Federal Election Commission of the United States of America (https://api.open.fec.gov/developers/) in order to see specific information related to current candidates in the 2020 U.S. presidential election; for example, a user could enter the name "Bernie Sanders" and get back the amount of money Sanders has raised for his campaign.
