HackTheMidlands3.0 - "Remind Me Bot"

This is a repo for the HackTheMidlands3.0 hackathon, this will remain private and only available to the people within our group.

Our group created a "Remind Me" SaaS (Software-as-a-service) where people are able to send the bot a message asking for a reminder, and the bot would wait until that time to send a text message back, reminding the person.

User: Remind Me to go to the store in 3 hours!

RemindMe: Sure! I will remind you to go to the store in 3 hours.

*3 hours later*

RemindMe: Please remember to go to the store! You asked me to remind you 3 hours ago.

This project hasn't been fully completed but along the way we have learnt how to use another company's API, how to properly collaborate using Git & GitHub, how to hide secret tokens and how to set-up a Linux VPS for eventual hosting of the project.
