Inspiration ❤️

If you're ever feeling sad and depressed without any cats to cheer you up, don't worry! A Purrfectly Pawesome Place is a webapp that let you stare at insanely cute cat pictures and increase your productivity. You won't ever be sad again and get all your work done!

Our main goal is to improve productivity with a pomodoro timer to keep track of studying and time spent in this purrfectly pawesome website. Under the forum page, users can discuss with other cat lovers about their interests to increase socialization. Cat owners can recommend cat toys for others to enjoy, and anyone can share their favourite music. The forum page is used for getting tips on better mental health and increasing productivity.

A Purrfectly Pawesome Place is a website that boosts your happiness and productivity! Please feast your eyes on cats and enjoy the cuteness!

This website is intended for everyone who is feeling sad or needs a bit of cuteness in their life, not just for cat owners! There's a purrfect place for everyone :)

What it does 🦅

On the home page, there are pictures of super cute cats for you to stare at. By looking at cats, you will no longer feel sad and forget any negativity in your life. As you scroll to the bottom, there is a next button for you to click on to go to the next page and prevent any doom-scrolling because cats have all our attention! Users can also create a profile by signing up and logging in. On their profile page, users can see the cat pictures they posted and make new friends by sharing a bit about themselves. By having an account, users can upload cat pictures and comment on them. Here we’re scrolling through cat memes that’ll make you laugh and smile. Next, there’s also an art page where users can post artwork of adorable cats they made.

How we built it 🇺🇸

We built it with Js, python, flask and auth0

Challenges we ran into. 🏅

Due to time constraints, our actual product focused on curing procrastination and making people happy with cats. First, we have the timer that runs a work-break scheme based on the Pomodoro Theory with 4 cycles of working for 25 minutes and breaking for 5 minutes before taking a 30 minute break. For every cycle, the user gets rewarded with 10 fish and then after 4 cycles the user gets rewarded 50 fish. The fish can then be used to try and get various different accessories, shades of fur, and types of cats. This feature is especially purrfect for lifting people’s moods after a long work session.

Another challenge we ran into was that we only got a domain name and didn't build the website because we couldn't verify our domain as our property on Google sites to build the website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of ⚡️

We were able to complete the project. Finding the cutest cat pictures was beautiful.

What we learned 🪝

Auth0 integration, buying a domain on domain.com, and graphics design

What's next for A Purrfectly Pawesome Place

We'll continue building and we'll keep moving forward. We will make an app for our website. our next step to make a rewards system with the Pomodoro timer so users can raise a cat and dress them up, the more time they study!
