Jafo: just another file organizer

Jafo is an application that allows you to easily sort files on your computer. You can do this automatically with pre-determined sorts, or specify your own "buckets" to place your files in.

Inspiration

Seeing our friends' and teachers desktops cluttered with countless files just brought a tear to our eyes. We had to do something, our pride was dependent on it.

What it does

Jafo is a customizable file sorting application, allowing the user to visualize their files before they are sorted into appropriate folders.

How we built it

We used a combination of ElectronJS, NodeJS, and other assorted Node-based packages to implement and test our app. Throughout the process, we were constantly drafting wireframes on our whiteboard while communicating with each other on our ideas.

Challenges we ran into

There was a significant barrier in learning ElectronJS for this hackathon, however, we were able to make something wonderful by the end of it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Communication between all team members, more developed skills for us to focus on.

What we learned

Throughout the event, all of us practiced our CSS, communication skills, and overall planning for projects. There were many points where it proved useful to back away from the computer and just diagram things on the whiteboard.

What's next for Jafo: just another file organizer

Refactoring and organization of code, also making the CSS contain more global variables for us to generalize. Turning this css spaghetti mess into something ethical.
