Penn State alum here.

Is this project for one of your courses? If so, "finishing in time" would be a great feature to have. Bear in mind that GitHub uses Git to store the code; they didn't need to create a custom database and synchronization mechanism. You aren't going to succeed in up-staging someone else just by reinventing wheel (worse if you end-up with a square).

The project is for one of my courses, and I am going to to what I outlined above I was just trying to get some more ideas from other people. We are...Penn State.
