Inspiration: We wanted a platform where we could send personalized messages including pictures, songs, and notes to ourselves in the future.
What it does: You can upload images/videos, voice memos, notes, and songs to an individual time capsule. Then you can choose an email and date for when you want the time capsule to be sent. You can also choose a random data after a timeframe of your choice.
How we built it: We built the frontend using HTML, Javascript, and CSS. The website has a home page that leads to a "Create New Capsule" page. We built the user authentication and account program through SQLAlchemy and Flask. We pulled data from the Spotify API using Flask, Python, and the Spotify API for developers. We used Postman to see if this worked.
Challenges we ran into: We originally made the user authentication system using MongoDB, which did not work, and we ended up using SQLAlchemy and Flask. However, we did not finish storing the data.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We are proud of the front-end of the website.
What we learned: We learned how to use different frameworks and database programs like SQL and MongoDB.
