What it does
- Helps students/academic individuals connect with each other based on any of several criteria.
- School
- Major
- Subject
- Connected students are provided a means to facilitate study groups whether it is organizing in person meetups or discussing subjects over messenger.
- Inclusive rather than Exclusive design. Searching for and Joining groups is easy, the ultimate goal is the accumulation of knowledge.
Inspiration
- On the spot.
- We considered past projects and wanted to do something that could interact well with them. In particular we are developing a note taking website and we felt that a study group based messenger would mesh well with it.
How we built it
Pretty straightforward process...
- Lay down the plan (design documents)
- Follow the plan
- Adjust the plan where necessary
Challenges we ran into
- The Javascript. Neither of us are very skilled Javascript developers, and since js is a core part of the app it provided some interesting challenges.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- In general completing the app can be seen as an accomplishment.
- Really, all finished projects are accomplishments worth being proud of.
What we learned
- That we need to be exposed to more Javascript.
- That design patterns (in this case MVC) are VERY useful.
What's next for Tabula
- With any luck integration with our other app NoteOrious so that students have somewhere to put their notes for their study sessions.
- Introduce a markdown parser for both character escaping and providing more options within the messenger itself.
