Code 200...cus we're ok

Inspiration

We had a classmate who was sending a schedule (via a screenshot) of our important class assignments, but she got sick one week and stopped posting. That's when we realized how heavily some people relied on that and found it useful.

What it does

Our chrome extension allows the user to open a tab and be shown the regular google search bar but also a calendar. The calendar can be synced with different calendar apps (android and apple) and all be shown in one. It also allows the syncing of different calendar accounts, so you can see the schedule of those you trust.

How we built it

We started with the backend and created a local database running on a container, then we started implementing some of the features using HTML and javascript and learning to connect those

Challenges we ran into

There were plenty. Our extension heavily relied on the backend that we were not expecting. We had to get majority of the code done for that before we could really touch the frontend (and see an output).
So many files and folders! We had organize it really well in order to safely merge things - which we had a lot of merging conflicts.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We got so far in just 24hours! Although we didn't get to our original goal, our output was far better than we expected, especially after starting the project and realizing how tough it could get

What we learned

really learning the logic behind how things get made. We may not fully understand the code line-by-line, but we know how we got there and why it was important
learning to work as a team. Being able to divide tasks up and push it to the main and it working

What's next for Code 200...cus we're ok

I think we'd actually like to finish this project and accomplish our original goal of full functionality. Maybe not know (we need sleep), but one day.
