Frontend workflow

• User:
  • fills in text fields (eg names, locations)
  • selects from dropdown menus (eg dates, number of roommates)
• User presses "submit" button to process PDF
• backend workflow occurs, pdf generated
• User prompted to review generated pdf before proceeding to use Docusign signature to sign the agreement
• User can send this pdf to other roommates to sign

Backend workflow:

• Upon info submission, Javascript writes user info to ordered list
• Python script duplicates template file (heretofore referred to as "raw tex file")
• Python script reads ordered list and places user info in appropriate places on raw tex file
• Python script calls MikTex (b/c windows computer) to compile the raw tex file into a pdf
• Server returns the pdf to the website
