Inspiration
Millions of people shop online, especially on Amazon. Our culture has a strong affinity for hyper consumerism. We wanted to create a product that might help fight and reduce the amount of negative environmentally impact products being sold day-to-day.
What it does
SAPS analyzes your potential Amazon purchases and suggests alternative products that are better for the environment, if applicable.
How we built it
We built it using Javascript, HTML, and CSS.
Challenges we ran into
Our main challenge we ran into was learning Javascript, HTML and CSS as most of our previous experience was in Python and C++, MATLAB.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We didn't know Javascript, HTML or CSS before this project and we were able to learn a lot in the past day to create the extension. We designed a logo from scratch. We did research on hyper consumerism. And we were able to go to the workshops and learn as much as we could. We're proud of our work over this weekend as this was our first time using and implementing an extension.
What we learned
We learned how to use Javascript and create a chrome extension.
What's next for SAPS
Next, we will continue to add functionality and polish our very first release of the extension.
