Inspiration

After 2021 dawned upon us, I created many new resolutions, just like usual. However, looking back, I don't think I've really tried to achieve any of my past resolutions. An idea of something that promotes the achieving of resolutions led us to create this app.

What it does

Keeps track of three types of resolutions that are either: 1.something you wish to achieve (e.g. bungee jumping). 2. something you wish to stop doing (e.g. smoking) 3. something you wish to do every day (e.g. jogging)

How We built it

We built it using Express.js, CSS, and Html5.

Challenges We ran into

It was many of ours' first times using Express.js, or even JavaScript at all. This caused some challenges with understanding how server/browser interaction works and other miscellaneous problems. However, we were able to solve them by helping each other with things that we knew.

Accomplishments that We're proud of

The final web app works mostly as intended, and does not have any security issues or other flaws that may need to be fixed in the future. The UI is also modern and simple.

What We learned

How to use ejs, communication and collaboration with teammates, and how to set up a new web app project from scratch.

What's next for New Year, New Me!

Finishing up the countdown/check-in features, as well as things like Google Calendar API integration.
