[brand]

What it does

Our missions is to empower small businesses that haven’t made the transition to POS systems due to the valid fear for their customers sensitive financial data getting accessed by bad actors. No more need to pay for costly cybersecurity, we bring control back to the user through simplicity. [brand] is an entirely offline web service designed to reliably store and maintain a small business' orders via simple forms and tables

How we built it

We used Python and Flask to create a web server to host our pages, and use SQLite 3 to manage our database along with a JSON file to store product info. We used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to make our front end

Challenges we ran into

One of our most significant challenges was crossing the gap between receiving user input and displaying data via a web page and our storage capabilities in our SQL database. Using some of Flask's helper methods and a large amount of debugging and learning about web development, we overcame this hurdle

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We gained a lot of valuable experience in many areas. For most of us, this was our first hackathon, and we gained a lot of insight into how these events work, as well as improving our technical knowledge in many areas
