Purplist

Purplist is an application designed to share multipurpose lists between users.

Users can add new items to their lists, which can later be checked/unchecked.

To share a list with friends, all you need to do is send an invitation knowing your friend's nickname.

Currently, mainly the backend of the application has been created. It is a hobby project under development.

To create the database needed to run the project, run the create_database_for_purplist.sql script in your MySql database and fill all the spring.datasource in the data in the application.properties file accordingly.
