Go Bananas

Inspiration

Go Bananas was inspired by our shared love for bananas, yet we realized bananas were not getting enough love they deserved. Our approach is Go Bananas, where we focus on spreading knowledge of banana waste.

What it does

Go Bananas showcases different recipes and ideas that include bananas, even brown bananas. This encourages the user to be resourceful with their bananas, and being resourceful can bear positive results. For example, Go Bananas includes recipes on making banana bread, using banana as compost, creating banana skin care, creating tea with banana peels, and much more. Go Bananas also includes a fun Banana Clicker game, where users can click a banana as many times as they can. However, it is extremely tedious to amount to the 1.4 million bananas that are wasted per day in the UK. Go Bananas is fun, informative, and making a positive impact within our society.

How we Built It

We built Go Bananas using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Additionally, we utilized coolors.co for recommended color palettes, Google Fonts, and Canva to design visuals.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into the challenges of formatting the recipes and ideas correctly. However, through communication and debugging, we created the gallery effect that we were going for.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the the Recipes and Ideas tab, because it contributes to our mission of saving bananas.

What We Learned

We learned that during quarantine and our inability to complete the hackathon in-person, communication is crucial. We learned to constantly communicate our new ideas that we would like the implement into our website, or if we would like to provide constructive feedback to each other's code. We also learned to organize and split up our tasks, and share a to-do list together in other to increase productivity and efficiency.
