Lambdas

• Download NYT answer key in lambda

Website

• Capture/upload only square grid image - full aspect ratio is uploading unneeded data and slowing things down.
• Do a quick check to see if image will be suitable before uploading?

ML Model

• Split the difference for hough lines to get the middle of the grid when splitting (although not sure if this will matter - time maybe better spent cleaning up invidual cropped cells?)
• Improve slicing algorithm to work on grids of different sizes and inputs of different sizes (don't hardcode unique horizontal/vertical line pixels)
• Add validation of chopped image - all cells should be roughly same size - erorr out if not, ask user to retake picture
