PseudoNote

Creation of Classes
Individual Files in Each Class

Inspiration

We created PseudoNote with the intention of making word-processing software as accessible as possible. So, if anyone ever has a 10-year-old laptop and needs to take notes in class, and Google Docs refuses to load while Microsoft Word is not an affordable option, PseudoNote is there for the rescue.

What it does

PseudoNote is a compact, no frills word processor. We have kept support for the most essential features of word processors, such as auto-save, italics and bolding, lists, and image support. The most integral attribute of PseudoNote is that it is compact enough to run on the oldest systems, and is designed for quick note-taking when other features are unnecessary.

How we built it

We built PseudoNote in Electron framework. The languages we used is Node.js, HTML, and CSS.

Challenges we ran into

As inexperienced programmers, we ran into various technical problems while programming the app. Though we worked into the night, we managed to fix any bugs we encountered.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our team is proud of finishing with an app that fit expectations. We’ve created a simple-to-use, minimalist note-taking app with basic functions according to plan. We also had some fun in making a demo video, the summation of our accomplishment over the past few days of the hackathon.

What we learned

Throughout the entire process, we acquired a good grasp on the Electron framework, and how the different languages come together in creating the final app. Along the way, we gained some valuable experience in trouble-shooting.

What’s next for PseudoNote

We see our application supporting more essential features past our minimum viable product, such as document sharing. Our vision for the future of PseudoNote is for our users to feel as if they have no more features to be desired, and PseudoNote is the only note-taking application they need for 99% of class situations.
