Inspiration
During this difficult lockdown period, we hear about a lot of people suffering from mental health issues. This is because people aren't able to interact with others like they used to, and as a result, this leads to loneliness, anxiety, depression, etc. Solving this problem was my source of inspiration for the CovidCommunicate application.
What it does
It is an interactive platform that allows users to share how they're feeling, connect with others, and discuss their problems. Users can view others' posts, comment on posts, and even share their own posts. If users don't prefer being so open, the application also has a diary feature which lets users log their experiences and feelings.
How I built it
For the frontend work, I used HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, and a few other libraries like Bootstrap4, JQuery, and SlickJS. The backend work was done in python using the flask framework.
What I learned
This was my first hackathon and it really taught me to program under pressure, something which I hadn't done before.
