Chore Manager

Inspiration

When I am coming home from a hard disciplined day of school work with mounds homework ahead of me, the last thing I want to hear is "Don't forget, you have chores." Having to manage school, homework, and extra curricular activities along with chores, it gets difficult to manage (and difficult to manage fast!). Developing a secure chores list for my family eases my stress about time-management and lets me see what I need to get done ahead of time. Might as well say, we where lacking anything but inspiration.

What it does

Using Blockstack API functions, we've creating a secure family login, preventing outsiders from accessing our sensitive information. Our family is able to add chores to the person's todo-list. Once a family member has completed a chore, they can click on it and remove it from the list.

How we built it

We started off by building a Blockstack sign in page. From the sign in page, we added the ability to add items to a visually appealing list on our UI while securely placing the information in Blockstacks Cloud Storage. From there, we added the feature to click on a item list, and remove it from the list both on the front end and back end.

Challenges we ran into

Modeling our website off of Blockstack's example websites for "good practice", we found they wrote in a very different style of programming than we did. We found it difficult to match their good practices and styles throughout the project.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Entering the Hackathon, we had zero knowledge of Blockstack. We learned the API from the ground up. Our team is proud of the great collaboration and knowledge we shared and gained throughout scripting this website with Blockstack.

What we learned

We learned Blockstack from the ground up. Blockstack wasn't our priority project during this Hackathon so little time was given to the project. We are proud the massive amounts of progress we made in such little time. As we where developing, many new ideas came flowing to us to add to the website. We also learned what decentralized apps are, and how to make them.
