Inspiration

Just Connect is a project that began with the simple idea that technology can be used to bring people together and create positive change in the world.

What it does

JustConnect is a web-based platform that connects people who are passionate about social justice issues with opportunities to take action. The platform aims to create a community of activists who can share ideas, collaborate on projects, and make a difference in the world. The platform will have an action hub where users can find a list of current campaigns and petitions related to social justice issues. Users can browse through the list and choose which ones to support. The platform will also provide resources and information to help users learn more about the issues and take effective action. Users can create their own projects and invite others to join them, or they can join existing projects that align with their interests. The platform will have an event calendar where users can find upcoming events related to social justice issues such as protests, rallies, and conferences.

How we built it

We built the site using HTML, CSS, and a little bit of React. The design was all using Figma.

Challenges we ran into

It was really difficult to get started as we needed to actually learn more about HTML and the other languages, as almost all of us had never used them before for a project like this.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were proud to have the entire design down and finished, as well as having a decent-looking homepage that greets the viewers.

What we learned

We learned that making a website takes more time than we thought, and were pretty ambitious to get stuff done that would not be finished in the time limit.

What's next for JustConnect

We want to update all the pages to be completely finished and working, as well as add possible chatrooms and back end for profiles.
