FriendshipChallenge!

Inspiration

Keeping in touch with the people you are close with is something that everyone treasures, however, when you're apart from them it becomes difficult. By creating FriendshipChallenge!, it provides a fun, engaging way to stay connected with your friends and loved ones.

What it does

FriendshipChallenge! offers you a new photo prompt every day and allows users to upload and share their photo through a simple extension on their browser. They receive notifications when their friends upload so they can check their photo out!

How we built it

Frontend:

• HTML
• CSS
• Javascript

Backend:

• supabase / supabase api

Challenges we ran into

This was my first time designing a full stack application so figuring out how to connect and handle requests to a storage server was quite difficult. I originally intended to use firebase but was having issues with CORS requests. Switching over to supabase made the integration easier.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I've never built a full stack project before so I'm glad that I was able to create something that works. This was also my first time developing a chrome extension so I was glad that I was able to complete that as well.

What we learned

I learned how chrome extensions are built from the ground up (and how they actually aren't that hard to make). I also learned more about full stack development, especially how backend works.

What's next for FriendshipChallenge!

We will add a variety of prompts as well as an archive feature to allow users to look back on past memories
