BIDDER
- Sign up, log in.
- Browse lots with photos, description, current bid, and a countdown to close.
- Place a bid at least the minimum increment above the current bid.
- A bid in the last two minutes extends that lot's close by two minutes.
- Watch lots, and get an email when outbid.
- The winner of each lot gets an email when it closes, with a link to pay by
  card.

ADMIN
- Create lots: photos, description, starting bid, increment, close time.
- Results: each lot's winner, amount and payment status, and the total raised.

Payments by Stripe.

Seed one admin, four bidders, and twelve lots with photos, bids, and close
times spread over the next few days, with one closing in minutes. Show the
seeded logins on the sign-in page.

Bids, countdowns and the total raised update in real time.
