What inspired us
We built this because we kept procrastinating. Every assignment felt like a chore and there was nothing pushing us to get things done early or do our best. We thought what if getting good grades actually felt like leveling up in a game? That's where HomeRoom came from.What inspired us We built this because we kept procrastinating.

How we built it
We started with a React frontend using Vite and Tailwind CSS for styling. Firebase handles the authentication and database, and we deployed everything on Vercel. We split the work across branches on GitHub and built it feature by feature over the hackathon.
What we learned
None of us had used Firebase Auth before so that was a big learning moment. We also got a lot better at working in parallel on the same codebase without stepping on each other's code.
Challenges
Git conflicts were a constant battle but we got through it.
