What it does

GRNSOZ is a social-networking website/mobile application for all things sustainability. It is, essentially, to form a space that functions to eliminate the stigma regarding this move to a green step. We form communities and conduct challenges that are awarded to those working towards a sustainable future. We also involve sustainable companies in this interaction, so the bridge of knowledge is made to truly live a joyful and convenient sustainable lifestyle.

How we built it

We built the website using your classic web-development tools: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. HTML was the front-end portion of the code, and CSS was the core design aspect of this project. Further, the JavaScript portion was carefully curated to accurately respond to user inputs.

Challenges we ran into

Because was so lengthy and long as the project was quite literally building a social networking site, we had a lot of minor errors consistently popping up. We learned to be patient with the errors, as panicking only delays progress, and, together as a team, we worked our way through it: and, we had a successfully built social networking project.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a very beautiful project that was actually responsive because none of us have had the experience of building something that totally responded as it was meant to. Further, the customization process was also a delightful one full of experimentation, ideation, and creativity, and we were so happy with how the user interface ended up looking in the end.

What we learned

We learned a lot of crucial, new points in JavaScript. Whilst designing the project, we also learned a lot about color theory. We also talked and learned about moral and ethical conduct in businesses and generally successful start-ups in terms of sustainability, as we were very inspired by the tech talks at JacobsHack centering around green-washing by companies (at certain segments).

What's next for GRNSOZ

Building new, sustainable habits compatible internationally. Helping and propagating ideas to facilitate companies and many individuals going green as a lifestyle. We plan on gaining the funds to purchase the swags and awards for the challenges and other operational costs with the aid of advertisements. Providing vouchers for influencers and users for participating in our ever-going challenges. We want to build something larger than life.
