Inspiration
My friend Nathen wanted something to motivate him to work on his projects and writing.
What it does
Mission: To provide inspiration and further encouragement to those dedicated to a specific project by allowing a stop watch that forces you to submit the name of your desired task and then seeing an example of someone who also faced hardship to show you’re not alone.
Functionality: It would operate as a stop watch, but a bit differently. Users who use the program will need to set two things: a word for their desired project and a time of their choosing. When the time hits, the alarm will go off as usual. The user will see an example of someone who embarked on an inspiring endeavor, as a fun fact, as well as a textbox for them to take note of what they accomplished.
How we built it
The IDE VSCode was used with the Python language. Specifically the PySide6 library was used for the UI and widgets. JSON files were used to store the data.
Challenges we ran into
There was difficulty adding the total amount of stopwatch time to each project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
First time using an audio file in a project. First time using the PySide6 library. Creating something for my friend to use. First hackathon.
What we learned
I learned the PySide6 library and I learned more about the industry. And networking with other programmers.
What's next for Optimism Clock
Make it into an executable application.
