Inspiration: We wanted to make an online webchat, for everyone, but we don't know that much about JavaScript or PHP so we couldn't do it in html (which was the original idea), then we moved to python, the programming language we know best. We used python module socket to connect the clients and kivy for the UI.
What it does: it is a chatroom app that you can boot up on your computer and have multiple users
How we built it: we built it in Python using socket and kivy libraries, with our past knowledge and new ones that we learned
Challenges we ran into: first, we did a website in HTML and js, but didn't work out so well because we couldn't write in the text file where we planned to store the messages. That's why we decided to do it in python.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: we overcame a lot of challenges and managed to finish this project, despite having to change to another language.
What we learned, Python socket, what is a socket, Javascript, HTML, PHP, kivy, a bit of everything
What's next for hackTAMS 2020 fall: chatroom with python socket. We may make it an official server and make it usable for Android
