Inspiration

In light of recent events and the rise of cost of living, volunteer work is now more important than ever.

What it does

Therefore we wanted to create Givester, a website that will facilitate the sharing of volunteering events . The events page shows a list of events that users can apply to volunteer for, with their emails (which is validated).

How we built it

We used Django framework for the structure, and html and css for the web page. Also javascript was used for a pop-up.

Challenges we ran into

There was one git conflict, also the challenge of passing the id of the event through the url and getting it on the form page.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to put together a decent looking web application, with a nice user interface, as well as functionality.

What we learned

We learned how to make a web application using django, html and css. We also used bootstrap, and learned how to use use virtual environments in vscode. We also cemented our knowledge with github.

What's next for Givester

If we were to continue working on this project, we would add a login functionality, make a user type and an admin type, allow admin to use crud on the events, make the events send something to the email, and add filtering and pagination.
