Inspiration

We were inspired by the shortcomings of Canvas's messaging system and decided to improve it by incorporating elements of our favorite messaging apps, Slack and Discord.

What it does

Allows users to communicate with other students in their classes.

How we built it

We build our website using NodeJS and React. We used Firebase Firestore Cloud for storing message data.

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to make a functioning messaging app was cool. We implemented most of the UI from scratch.

What we learned

We all have picked up some web development skills in using NodeJS, React, and Javascript in general. We also learned how to use Firebase for data storage.
