During the pandemic, students worldwide face challenges in online learning, struggling to maintain focus and productivity. To address this, I implemented the scientifically proven Pomodoro technique, breaking study time into 25-minute work periods followed by 5-minute breaks.
EZStudy is a comprehensive platform where users can apply the Pomodoro technique for efficient studying. It also facilitates learning, task management, music playback, and breaks without leaving the site. Users can create to-do lists, search subjects on YouTube, access math tools, and study with resources like Wolfram Alpha and Quizlet.
I developed EZStudy using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Google Firebase, leveraging their capabilities to create a user-friendly and functional study platform.
Some challenges I ran into included sequencing timer events, and CSS positioning. Overcoming these hurdles ensured a smooth study cycle and site functionality.
I'm proud of EZStudy's rapid development and completion within the hackathon timeframe. The platform's versatility, ease of use, and global accessibility are significant achievements.
Participating in this hackathon significantly expanded my JavaScript, HTML, and CSS skills. I also improved my deadline management skills, which are vital for successful project execution.
My future goals include expanding EZStudy into a cross-platform app and integrating AI to personalize study recommendations based on user habits and preferences.
