What it does

Our reference website appeals design that helps visitors focus on the content. Our aim is to provide a platform where participants and visitors can share experiences and stories from women in tech.

How we built it

Our team, comprising two frontend engineers and a designer who is also a deep learning engineer, developed a web project to showcase writings from three session hosts and a participant, all shared with permission.

Challenges we ran into

Creativity and Interactivity : We aspired balance creativity with sensitivity, initially considering hiding personal content. However, due to uncertainty about sharing permissions, we limited content to our four team member. The site's UI is still evolving with potential updates.
Time Constraints: To manage time efficiently, we automated our CI/CD flow following a workshop.
Technical Limitations: Without a database setup, we managed data locally and omitted additional features like guestbook or comment sections to prioritize timely delivery.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The project's name and theme draw inspiration from Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own." We're proud of our room-like UI, complete with draggable elements resembling furniture, posters, and bookshelves, adding a unique, personal touch.

What we learned

Navigating the challenges and excitement of design for the first time.
Engaging in a hackathon, which allowed us to explore new skill sets.
Turning routine workdays into creative, fulfilling experiences.

What's next for AROWO - A Writing Room of One’s Own

We're gearing up for a talk show at a gender-equality networking party as members of Women Who Code Seoul. Our goal is to share our insights in an engaging and impactful manner.
