Cyber Cipher is designed to take in a string of characters a user enters in in order to return an encrypted version of the string.

I was looking for interesting projects to build where I could set up a server and focus more on backend than frontend code. I wanted to utilize modern technologies while excluding unnecessary build tools for the sake of simplicity and thus, lack of necessity.
- Software Architecture matters more than any other aspect of building an app or program that implements client and server-side development.
- Do not assume the data structure of what certain methods from imported packages and/or modules will return. Read the documentation for interpreting/ingesting such data.
- Docker container implementation
- Additional cryptographic cypher implementations with sidebar menu of options
- Information / Definition glossary page as tab in sidebar menu of cipher options
- Hot reloading for server in order to reduce amount of server kills from errors
- Users cannot enter in special characters (non English alphabetic characters into encryption input field without causing an error in the program
- Users must enter in a string with no whitespace as a result of KeyError
- No testing for this program has occurred on machines with other operating systems
- Lack of error handling in order to reroute program and prevent server crashes
- Lack of rerouting and input value clearing subsequent to running the encryption program successfully
