Inspiration
As students, we often feel overwhelmed by our workload, and find it hard to maintain a good school-work-life balance. We wanted to create a straightforward daily planner that arranges tasks in a few clicks.
What it does
Jam-Packed is an easy-to-use daily planner. Add new tasks, classify them as blocked or moveable, and delete old ones. When you create a moveable task, the daily planner displays all the valid start times for the duration of the task. You can then select the start time that you prefer. Don’t waste time on the planning part, spend more time on the doing part!
How we built it
HTML, Tailwind CSS and php were mostly used for the interface. We used Javascript to loop through the existing tasks and return valid start times.
Challenges we ran into
The most challenging part was to assemble the different parts of the code. We spent a lot of time looking for ways to make the different languages interact and reference the objects created in the different files.
What we learned
For most of us, this was our first time coding in JavaScript and php, as well as using VSCode and Node. From self-learning new languages and using new platforms to ultimately creating a finished product in 41 hours was definitely challenging but even more rewarding!
