+# 2. Creating environment variables locally
 Since we're going to be logging into a remote database, we have to hide our login credentials from the outside world. To do this, we're going to make a ```.env``` file inside our project directory. It should have a structure similar to this.
 ```
-USER_=<your user's username>
-PASS_=<your user's password>
-DB_NAME_=<your db name>
-HOST_=<your host name> // should be something with mlab in it...
+export MONGODB_USER= <your user here> (for example: JohnKennedy)
+export MONGODB_PASS=<your pass here> (for example: 1243541f)
+export MONGODB_NAME=<your database name here> (for example: alarm)
+export MONGODB_HOST=<your host here> (for example: ds027583.mlab.com)
+export MONGODB_PORT=<your port here> (for example: 27583)
 ```
 __!!! IMPORTANT !!!__
 Make sure to run the following to add ```.env``` to your .gitignore! This way our secret credentials won't be pushed into our GitHub repos.
 ```
 echo ".env" >> .gitignore

+Potential of this project: GauchoAlarm looks simple and easy but actually it has much potential to be improved.
+e.g.
+From the aspect of development, it is a good idea to have a mechanicam of sleep&wakeup. We can use format method to make the program recognize the string of time and use heroku clock processes to make itself sleeping and wake up itself before the next alarm.
+
+From the aspect of users, we can offers sharing features after creating alarm and joinning alarm.
+
+More to implement:
+- Sleep and Wakeup
+- Sharing alarm
+- Map: show the location of meeting
+- Phone Alarm: set the alarm in "clock" application on the phone
+- ...
+
+Advice on working with the code:
+- www.w3schools.com  is a good tool for writing html
