FUNDFINDER

Our team was driven by our personal experiences and growth to create an app that would cater to women who are new to the tech industry. As we worked together to develop the app, we learned invaluable lessons on the importance of teamwork, resilience, and dividing tasks in a collaborative environment.

However, we also faced some challenges along the way. For example, we took on tasks that we didn't have much experience with, resulting in some hiccups on the road. One such challenge was an issue with saving the user who was currently logged in. Though we were able to eventually figure it out, time constraints meant that we were unable to implement the feature fully. We also encountered issues with lifting states and using axios to filter requests.

Despite these challenges, we remained committed to overcoming them and producing an app that we are proud of.
