WERE AT TABLE S020

Inspiration:

This project takes inspiration from the negative experiences that many people have with social media. Our mission is to streamline the social media experience by eliminating bloated websites.

What it does:

Our application generates custom google chrome extensions that selectively remove and add website elements tailored to the wants of the user.

How it's built:

While the example google chrome extension is made with javascript, the application to generate these extensions is built in C with a web frontend in PHP. After choosing a suitable layout for a users needs, they will submit, and the selected sections, API authentication keys, and layout is transmitted to the server, where a the server generates the extension, and packages it into a .zip file that is downloaded by the user.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we ran into are the difficulty of manipulating web pages in ways that are not subtractive. Also, automating the packaging of files in C for download is a dificult process.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

With the use of this application, we are saving our users hours of time.

What we learned

There is a lot that can be eliminated from social media, and by doing so its possible to save time and focus on the things that are important.

What's next for Finite

With Finite we plan to integrate other social media platforms' information through generated API authentication. For example, we want it to be possible for your Twitter feed to be in Facebook, or even Instagram. That way you can visit all your favorite sites by only going to one place.
