A database using google drive

Inspiration

Online databases like firebase are very powerful but they do have their limits. It can be very hard for beginners to learn, and there is a limit to the storage on free accounts. We sought to make a better system, using the google drive api.

What it does

Uses the google drive realtime api to allow simple yet powerful access to an online database for beginners or experts alike. It offers meticulous documentation on usage.

How we built it

We used the google drive realtime api, along with c9.io, github, javascript, css, html, and jquery.

Challenges we ran into

After spending hours writing a function that converts a string to object, and almost giving up, we discovered the built in JSON.parse() function which does the same thing

Accomplishments we're proud of

We learned the google apis and oath for the first time ever, and we made our very first javascript plugin

What we learned

Using the google api and google developer console, as well as the object oriented programming to make a plugin
