Inspiration
A website that serves as a quick and straightforward way for people to brainstorm and share ideas through notes. Sort of like nearpod but more specific.
What it does
Our app lets hosts make a prompt and code which they can share with participants who can join. When the users join, they can send answers to the prompt. There is a cool-down that the host can set for how long between each note sent by each participant. The host can click into a note and make it larger if they want to. The host can also delete notes that they deem inappropriate.
How we built it
We built this app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We used the JavaScript libraries Express, EJS, and Socket.io.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge we ran into was connecting the users to each other to show the notes. Another challenge we had to overcome was making multiple instances so there could be multiple rooms that different users could make and use.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of figuring out how to connect all of the app together from the networking to the pages themself.
What we learned
We learned the JavaScript modules that we had to use. From the website to the networking we had to research and figure out how to use them.
What's next for Notes
We hope to get this working online and in production situations while figuring out how to prevent spam and the crashing of our servers
