Many features only work if you create an account/login**
Inspiration
We were inspired by the increasing sense of hopelessness we felt during the pandemic.
What it does
By creating and signing in with an account, you can create and delete reflections and thoughts you enter in throughout the year.
How we built it
We built it using the flask and flask_sqlalchemy libraries with python on the backend. This would save the users logged in on the website, and the thoughts of each user in a database. This info could be accessed in the front end using HTML templates, and the website was styled with CSS.
Challenges we ran into
Our group relied on git workflow for collaboration. Towards the end of the project, we faced a lot of merge conflicts trying to bring our branches together. Sometimes our branches were not up to date, causing confusion about features that we implemented that weren't on other branches. We were also down a partner from Texas.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We worked as a team to create one cohesive final product.
What we learned
We learned how to use flask, we also learned teamwork skills. We learned that trust is really important for a team.
