but then I don't think anyone other than me would use this! So heck, at least I'll learnt a lot. _Not bad for a Comp Sci student, eh?_
- In all of my projects, design is of paramount importance. And Everest is no exception.
With a **gorgeous, flat design and a neutral color scheme**, Everest is a pleasure to look at and to work with.
_I want you to want to use it!_
- Being a Java application, Everest is inherently **cross-platform**. It will run anywhere there's a JVM.
- Everest is powered by **Jersey**, the robust and powerful Java library to build and consume RESTful web services.

## Not-so-certain features
- Suggestions as you type in the address field.
- Postman has this really cool feature wherein it can create a **mock server**. Maybe do that.
- Text prediction for the address bar based on your history.
