+## Issues that we ran into
+
+### 1. We only implemented authentication with Google, and it only works for 1/7 group members. Hence, not able to have smooth from login to home page; home page access (without login) works for everyone
+
+### 2. Event creation form doesn't add creation to database; profiles weren't completely implemented as well. Thus, components of the event page that depended on these weren't able to be done.
+
+### 3. We couldn't get the interactive map to work for specific events when clicked on.
