💡Our Inspiration💡

The need for a place where people can solely discuss issues in their community while feeling heard and supported by others.

🌀What it does🌀

On the homepage in the search bar, the user can type in a location which will then pull up a list of communities based on that location. In the search results, the user can select a community that will have an issue to choose from underneath. The website itself has a functioning register/signup/logout, report a new issue, and search bar which directs you to the issue's page.

⚙️How it was built⚙️

The front end of Commun was designed & prototyped in Figma, and then made in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. For the backend Flask was used and CockroachDB.

⛓️Challenges we ran into⛓️

The UI was tricky to implement
The time constraint
Being down a team member
The deploying of the website

🏆Accomplishments that we're proud of🏆

All team members worked hard at their tasks
Our teamwork, when we struggled, it was together.
We're all proud to have done it in such a short period of time, everyone being new to hackathons and is still eager to learn new tools and technologies.

📖What we learned📖

The importance of organization and task designation
UI and design skills and tools like Figma
