Inspiration
The primary motive was personal experiences with data loss.
What it does
Warns you if you ever share more info than you agree to when you sign up. It also helps you manage/organize your data usage.
How we built it
We used JavaScript/HTML/CSS and WebExtensions.
Challenges we ran into
We had to learn modern JavaScript (ES6, async/await, etc.), CSS, and WebExtensions all at once.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of creating a solid app in 19 hours of near-continuous coding.
What we learned
We learned a lot about Chrome/Firefox extensions, data security, and software engineering.
What's next for DataBlock
We'd like to expand the features, clean up the code, and overall just polish it — hopefully it can be published one day!
