Dumpy

Inspiration

Frustration when looking for quality learning resources at university.

What it does

It allows users to submit their lecture notes and any other learning resources they may have found and share them with all other users. Users will then be able to like/dislike and give feedback on the resource allowing the platform to sort the content so the most useful content is always the most visible.

How I built it

We built the backend with PHP and mysql and the front end with html css and jquery

Challenges I ran into

Not knowing how to transfer files across the web at the start of the day despite choosing to make a web app that nearly entirely relies on this.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

creating an idea that both me and my team are proud of as well as building a demo'able app

What I learned

How php and jquery work as well as FTP

What's next for Dumpy

Adding support for more users and adding an algorithm that sorts content based on time
