Inspiration

Students in college typically need to perform outside studies through the Internet. Usually, these students go to online sources to get a clearer understanding of what they are learning. However, most of the effective sources are pay-walled, and students usually do not have the luxury to pay for such services. As a result, we have created a free, open-source of notes for all students to look at, regardless of what school they are in.

What it does

NFF allows students to look up notes from any school, course, and subject. Simply type in any of the parameters given and our advanced PDF Parser will provide you with notes matching your request.

How we built it

We used firebase as the database to store notes, and created endpoints to handle PDF parsing + notes upload and searching. We used react to create a table to show all the documents matching the query.

Challenges we ran into

• We had trouble trying to read the uploaded pdf
• We had to setup google cloud but on upload, the file got corrupted
• Time constraints + inconviences

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Working with react and API's to extract data from database.
• PDF Parser

What we learned

• We learned more about react, API's and PDF Parsing. ## What's next for Note Finder Free
• We will add an add button that allows students to upload their notes to the database.
