  Received postcard

Inspiration

As we know that this is a holiday season, So we decided to make a web application which will send postcards to your loved ones which you want to greet during holidays.

What it does

• First the user have to sign up using an email ID and then login using the same one to the web application.
• Then you have to select the occasion on which you have to greet your loved ones.
• After selecting the occasion, you have to enter the sender email and receiver mail, and write a note/ greet the person you want. And send the postcard.
• Now the post card is send and will be received by the person you want to send.

How we built it

• For the frontend part, we have used HTML, CSS and JavaScript to design our web application. Then we have used bootstrap for designing and stuff.
• For the backend part we have used NodeJS and for sending email, we have used Email.JS
• Then we have deployed our app in vercel and used DNS to connect to domain name.

Challenges we ran into

• The biggest challenge was using Email.JS to send the mail to the receiver.
• Designing the frontend
• Layout of different postcards
