Linked

Inspiration

We wanted to build something that we could see ourselves using every day.

What it does

The user can input all the links they use on a daily basis onto the site so that they can find them easily. This is especially helpful with online classes, as we have Zoom links for lectures, discussions, and labs, and different classes like to use different sites for communication. The to-do list and goals section further helps the user to stay organized. With Linked, there's no more need to scramble around trying to find links.

How we built it

We utilized React as our frontend framework, which allowed us to break our website up into several reusable components. We built out our backend and authentication using Firebase firestore, a realtime database that keeps track of each user's tasks.

Challenges we ran into

One of our biggest issues was actively dividing up the work for each team member to do. We constantly asked each team member what areas of the code they were working on, so we could avoid conflict.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we managed to get our program to compile and run without errors. We worked together as a team and managed to produce a working product.

What we learned

We learned how to use objects and component in React, styling, and incorporate Firebase with React.

What's next for Linked

We would like to add more features for full user customization. They will be allowed to create their own sections, delete links, and and change color schemes. The idea is to create a program that is user friendly for all use cases.
