How I built it
We began by choosing a framework that would allow us to interact with a database in order to store past conversations, deciding on Flask and SQLAlchemy. Then we implemented a multi-page application that would allow us to be taken to different views through which the users could interact with the application. We considered privacy and security issues, sustainability of the platform, trust, collaboration, and culture to build the platform. These potential concerns are address in implementation.
Challenges I ran into
Limited knowledge of coding, had to learn different frameworks (django, flask), database (sqlalchemy).
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Web development, design, background research and knowledge, and business considerations (sustainability, scalability).
What I learned
different frameworks (django, flask), database (sqlalchemy)
