Inspiration
We were inspired by how much of an impact our own shopping habits have on the environment, and how we could help people make more ethical choices.
What it does
Ethena is a chrome extension that allows you to see how ethical a manufacturer of a product is, and see more ethical alternatives.
How we built it
We used the Chrome extension API and (will use) python precomplied to Javascript (through RapydScript) to build the extension, and vanilla Javascript, CSS and HTML on the front end to display the data.
Challenges we ran into
Our best coder left on day 2, and with limited front end knowledge, we had to put this project together.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learned about the intricacies of PowerPoint, and refreshed some knowledge on CSS. Created a project idea and cohesively worked together despite challenges.
What we learned
We learned how to implement APIs in projects, use GitHub to collaborate in the development, and create a prototype.
What's next for Ethena
We want to add more features to the extension, including carbon output for products, and introduce a mobile app after completing the extension.
