GoosePeak

Don't get caught being a silly goose!
Built in task manager
You've angered the goose with your lack of productivity!!

💡Inspiration

Your professor assigns a YouTube lecture to review, but you end up watching Naruto or a Mr. Beast video instead. GEESE WHAT, you missed the deadline! We've all been there, and it's not a great feeling ... that's where GoosePeak steps in to help 💪.

GoosePeak is a chrome extension that's dedicated towards helping you reach your "peak" productivity, by "peeking" at your screen! With GoosePeak, you find your own goose buddy 🪿that grows more and more frustrated as you neglect your tasks and absorb irrelevant content!

🧐What it does

GoosePeak first asks for your task list. Once your tasks are confirmed, you are free to browse the web. As long as you stay on sites that align with your tasks, your virtual goose buddy remains calm and content. Very demure, very mindful 😌! However, if you stray off course, be prepared to face the wrath of your goose buddy as their frustration grows 😡. Not only that, you'll be faced with an annoying pop-up that will steer you right back to being productive and navigating the right links.

❓How we built it

In developing GOOSEPEAK, we used the following technologies:

Design: Played around with Figma to create the different pages and UI elements.

Front-end: We built our interface and pop-ups using React, HTML, TailwindCSS, and JS

Back-end: Our back-end is powered by Node.js, and we also leveraged the Cohere API.

APIs: We have used Cohere's API to extract information from the links and identify whether they include keywords that are relevant to the task list.

💢Challenges we ran into

Like any hacker, we encountered our own issues with merge conflicts. We also struggled with connecting to the Cohere API in a chrome extension environment. It even took all of us quite some time in understanding everyone’s code and building our code based on each other’s outputs.

🎖️Accomplishments that we're proud of

Although our team has little to no experience in developing chrome extensions, we are very proud that we have come this far to create a working MVP in a fast-paced environment.

We are also excited to see our adorable geese come to life, transforming from a simple idea into an engaging feature on our Chrome extension 🖊️
