Inspiration
We're picky eaters and we wanted an easier way to decide which dining hall to eat at
What it does
Allows you to easily decide which dining hall to go to
How we built it
Built as a Python widget using the libraries Tkinter and DeliciousSoup to create a GUI and scrape data from UCSB's online dining menus
Challenges we ran into
GUI design and storing favorite foods in a local file
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're all first-years at UCSB and only one of us actually majors in computer science with all of us having very little to no knowledge on how to code a program from scratch. Learning how to build a GUI and webscrape without any prior experience in only 36 hours is an accomplishment we're proud of
What we learned
How to design a simple GUI and scrape data from the web
What's next for GauchoGrub
Possibly more GUI improvements and features
