What it does

Allows users to create and share funny, "meme-like" trolley problems

How we built it

We used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the whole thing. We also used Node.js and WebSockets to create a local web server and handle multiple user inputs at once.

Challenges we ran into

WebSockets were a big pain in the butt to get working since we originally wanted to host the Node.js server on AWS. It took over 12 hours to find a solution, and we didn't even get it hosted on AWS in the end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finally figuring out how to connect to the WebSockets, completing the idea we set out to make

What we learned

We learned a lot about Node.js and WebSockets, as well as refreshed/strengthened our knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
