Inspiration
The inspiration for this project is from the countless number of lives that are being lost, and the whole concept of social distancing which prevents these deaths in a large scale when everyone works together. Responsibility during these times is very important, so this is what inspired us.
What it does
What the project does, is it takes in input in a text box on the homepage, which then gathers data about the zip code, and printing out a graph showing the overall trend of the covid cases in that zip code.
How I built it
Our team built this by using Flask, as the web framework which we then used python to work with the data, and finally we used html to show the data.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges we ran into is with the making of this app, as we started off using node.js which we thought would be good to use for our project, but since it is very hard to work with node.js with python as the backend, we switched over to flask for a more efficient way of working.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Some accomplishments that are team is proud of, is finding an alternative to node.js, flask, because it took us a long time, and it was very frustrating using node.js
What I learned
We learned how to use flask, and how to use python and html much better, we also learned that node.js was not a good choice.
What's next for COVID Data by Zip-Code
Our project has many more things that we could've added, as we could make the UI much more cleaner, and we could add multiple graphs, and have a whole site of just covid data to be as minimalistic as possible, while at the same time add the most amount of data possible to remain minimalistic.
