💡 Inspiration

In recent times due to busy schedules and covid, we have been unable to meet all our friends and family in person. This web app aims to bridge that gap and make holidays more fun and filled with love.

⚙️ What does it do?

MerryMail covers every kind of stuff to make your Christmas merry and send beautifully designed cards for your loved ones in a very short time and in a very easy way, we have a different approach for this:

🔦People can make their own profile and login/in log out of their profile anytime. We have used Appwrite for this purpose.

🔦People can design the card to send to someone in their own way. We have made different designs to fit in, borders, colours etc to make the card look more attractive.

🔦People can choose a picture of their own that they want to post along with the message to their loved ones on the eve of Christmas.

🔦We also have a feature to send the card on WhatsApp and email. Currently, the email function is implemented using google API and after pressing the send button, the card and the message are sent to the destined user.

🏃 Challenges we ran into

There are many different challenges that we ran into while developing our website:

❌ We used appwrite for the first time. Implementing login and logout took a lot of time

❌ Using Google APIs for sending emails was again a difficult task we ran into

❌ Designing the app along with designing the Figma was the toughest part

⭐ Categories we have focused upon

Best 404 page: We have designed a 404 page along with the UI/UX design of the app
Best UI/UX Award: We have designed the app focusing on the Christmas theme on Figma
Best Domain Name from GoDaddy Registry: We bought a domain with an interesting name - MerryMail and we will host the application on this
Best Use of Appwrite: We have implemented the design using ReactJS and appwrite where appwrite is being used for login logout features.
