Inspiration
With the COVID 19 pandemic in full swing, more companies are moving towards a hybrid of working from home and working at the office. We thought about small companies who may not have the necessary financial capabilities to have an intrafirm analytics platform. So we came up with an open-source telegram bot and website to allow small company managers to use our platform.
What it does
Our team decided to come up with a telegram bot that allows small companies to be able to request their employee's work status and display them on an analytics site/platform. The code is open-source which enables users to customize the bot according to their preferences and extends its capabilities limitlessly.
How we built it
For the telegram bot our team used python and the pyTelegramBotAPI for the associated frontend functions, the backend uses mongoDB to store relevant employee data.
We also used React.js for the creation of an analytics website.
Challenges we ran into
- The time crunch itself and different circumstances meant that there were only small periods of dedicated time we could work together.
- Some were more inexperienced with python programming than others so took a bit of time to understand the API and abstractions used.
- MongoDB was an entirely new framework for us to use.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Managed to create a working telebot that beautifully displays collected data on a website.
- Managed to complete the whole project within a day.
What we learned
- Developed a deeper understanding of frontend and backend development processes.
What's next for Micromanagers United
- Add charting capabilities to the platform.
- Extend the bot with functionalities such as KPI Indicators.
