Inspiration

Our website and theme are inspired by Bored Apes, unique digital collectibles living on the Ethereum blockchain.

What it does

Our portfolio includes photos of ourselves, an about me section, work experience, education, projects, a trivia board, hobbies, a map of places we have visited, and a contact form.

How we built it

We built the portfolio using the Flask web server to serve the webpage, JSON file to store our data, and Bulma to style our website. For the contact form, we use Gmail API to handle the sending of messages. For the map, we use Google Maps API to create a map and draw the markers.

Challenges we ran into

  • Activating the virtual environment
  • Setting up the local environment as a Windows user
  • Working with Google Maps API

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Implementing a Map with the Google Maps API
  • Implementing the contact form using the Gmail API
  • Following the GitHub best practices
  • Using a JSON file to store our data and dynamically display the data depending on the portfolio

What we learned

  • How to make a web server using Flask
  • How to use Jinja
  • GitHub best practices (Issues, Pull Requests, Project Board, etc.)

What's next for Bored Apes

We are planning to integrate a database and add a blogging feature.
