Inspiration
Some of our friends and teammates have had trouble finding parking spot, and it is a recurrent issue.
What it does
Administers the available parking spots in the parking space E2 (belonging to Tecnológico de Monterrey) and allows students to book them for a certain date and hour.
How we built it
Node.js was used as the server-side scripting framework to create the routes and handlers. Express.js simplified the creation of the web-app. PostgreSQL was used as the relational database management system to store and manage data. JavaScript was used on the client side for interactivity.
Challenges we ran into
Most of our team was experienced in backend, so learning how to connect it with the frontend made things hard halfway through the project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating a practical reservation system for a parking lot
What we learned
We learned how to use routes that do not conflict with each other, designing user interfaces, and planning what technologies we can learn for next time.
What's next for TecSpot
Add an authentication API, move from HTML architecture to React.js, and create an admin log in.
