 # Cat Bookmarker
 My submission for the software developer assessment consumes JSON
 representations of cat images accessible via the [Cataas](https://cataas.com)
-API, the links to which can be permanetly stored in a bookmark database.
+API, the links to which can be permanently stored in a bookmark database.
 
 ## Details
 The form submits four pieces of data:
  - `category`: The name of the category the bookmark will be stored under
  - `notes`: Any extra details, stored as a single string
  - `remote_id`: The ID of the resource accessible via Cataas' API
- ` `creator`: A pseudo-anonymous integer ID representing the actor bookmarking the image

 The first two are literally HTML input elements. The third is selected randomly by repeatedly pressing the "Show New Cat" button. The third is represented by a route both in Phoenix and using React Router.

-When making calls to the API, the client passes an `Authorization` header to their request including their ID, such as `Authorization: Basic 1234...`. If this header is omitted or malformed, the server returns a 401 status code. Not production-grade by any meanse, but not bad for a cat bookmarking app.
