CauldronWatch

We were inspired by a previous project in which one of the group members developed a website that monitors statuses for a Hanger, which develops prosthetic solutions for amputees. This knowledge is applicable to our solution as it would follow a similar structure.

Currently, the project is not functional simply due to the fact of some variable misnames that have occurred in various places of the code. However, with the absence of these errors, we have a website up that demonstrates a basic dashboard, a couple of basic pictures, and titles and subheadings. Parts of the backend are also complete such as the tables of the Cauldrons, however, these implementations are not yet displayed on the front-end. This is supposed to be completed when the rest of the backend is complete.

We used VSCode, Claude.AI, and Chatgpt in order to develop the final solution. With react and HTML/CSS, we were able to develop a small, final working solution capable of serving as dashboard and small monitering system. However, we were unable to incorporate alerts and effective forecasting due to limited time and limited collective experience.

We faced several challenges in regards to the front page with perfectly integrate the responses of the multiple generative AIs to create the initial front end dashboard. Since these AI's don't directly "talk" to each other it can be difficult to ensure compatibility between these separate pieces of code. Another issue we faced was also fully matching the compatibility of the front end and the back end as these are completely different segments of the code, and since they were assigned to different members of the team.

We are proud of the front-end created since the page took a lot of effort to combine a variety of code segments in order to make sure that all pieces of code are compatible, especially this is the first hackathon for all of the group members. This is shown in our simple backend as we were only able to minimally contribute to the dashboard. Specifically, this refers to the potions and their respective status.
