For the rest of the week you will be working to create a habit tracker. Your website should have the following functionality for users:

• Users should be able to login
• Users should be able to choose a habit they want to track (e.g water, exercise, 8 hours of sleep) and choose the frequency at which they want to track the habit.
• Users should be able to track a habit and mark it as complete for the day.
• Users should be able to see if they have completed a habit for the day and see if they have a streak of completing their habits.
