Inspiration
We learned ruby on rails in our software engineering class at HPU. There we learned how to develop a web application. We now want to use this knowledge to create this application.
What it does
Our Web-application is used to access, create, and edit data of the pets that are currently in quarantine. To create a new entry for a pet, an administrator must log into the application. He or she can than create or edit the data of the pet (including the status). The pet owners get a code with which they can view the pet’s status. They can also sign up to notifications via email or possibly even SMS.
How we built it
We built the application using ruby on rails. This enabled us to create a robust framework to support our application. We used the device plugin to handle user authentication reliably and safely.
Challenges we ran into
Our biggest problem when setting up the prototype was setting up devise. This crucial first step of our development process proved to be harder than initially intended. This sadly caused our whole schedule to shift.
What we learned
We learned a lot about the rails framework and how to use it successfully to create a new application. We also learned a lot about requirement gathering and communication with the product owner.
What's next for 99ProblemsAndCodingIsOne
Next, we will try to complete the web application. It right now is just a prototype, but we are excited to provide a completely working solution for the departments problem.
How to use the App
To use the app you can click on the herokuapp link provided under the Try it out section. This will lead you to the login page for the admin account. There you can log in using the following information: email: admin@hawaii.gov pw: hacc2021
