Inspiration

Nowadays, we are spending a huge amount of time on social media. So, we decided to develop a chrome extension and web programming platform to help users, especially developers to control their time and improve their programming skills.

What it does

When the user install this chrome extension, he's redirected to the web platform to register, then, he should solve programming problems to gain access to social media (Gold, Silver and Bronze points). He can also decide either to convert his points and access login to Facebook or keep them and have a better rank in our leader board.

How we built it

We build it from scratch. We devised the work to three different modules; back-end(Django), front-end(bootstrap) and Chrome extension.

Challenges we ran into

  • First time to design a Chrome extension.
  • Communication between different modules; extension & web platform ( front-end and back-end).

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The back-end is accomplished which is developed using Django Web Framework. We have used a service provided by IDEone (http://www.ideone.com) API to compile and test submission of the users.

What we learned

We learned how to develop Chrome extension. We have improved our communication skills and team work.

What's next for LSLC

We are planning to enhance this idea, we still have a lot of work to do.We are also planning to create the second version of LSLC. It will not only be dedicated to developers but also for other social media users. For example; for a person who is fond of sport. He can link this extension to his smart phone and win stars by doing exercises. We Like Social-media & we love sports. We will also launch it online.
