Inspiration
Cats.
Nah, but seriously? Right off the bat, this was going to be a ridiculous hack. When we thought of the 'zen' concept, we thought: what's the best way to relieve stress? Who can we always count on to vent our frustration?
Our pets. Especially if you force them into the same room.
What it does
pawfect.tech has one function*: to generate you the perfect pet meme. Simply click the "Generate" button and be amazed. Unsatisfied? First of all, how dare you? Second of all, it's okay, we got you, homie. Just refresh the page. Boom. New randomly generated meme or your money back, guaranteed.
*As of now
How we built it
on the front end: -created the entire website interface -wrestled with html and css -created a modal popup window and button
On the back end: -used python, html, JavaScript to incorporate a working random image generator -expanded upon the generator so it works with gifs too
on the server and web hosting site: -took advantage of the free domain.com deal to create our amazing domain -set up an azure static web app and connected this to our GitHub repository via a TXT-type hostname record, allowing for automatic updates on the workflow -added the DNS record for the domain 'pawfect.tech' onto Azure -waited for it to validate the domain name
Challenges we ran into
-lack of javascript knowledge -forgetting everything -lack of sleep
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of creating a functioning* website, first of all. All three of us are beginners and w entered this event aiming to learn more about programming and collaborating in general. Overall, we learned a lot, and Quan managed to land another LinkedIn connection
*standby for definition.
What we learned
We learned tons of stuff, including but not limited to: -Github functions -Github desktop functions -Javascript -Azure hosting -Github pages -Domain name functionality -HTML, CSS (or rather, reviewed it) -How long we can go without sleep before we go crazy
What's next for Pawfect
What's next for Pawfect? Well, we hope to increase the functionality of our website and become a reliable source of memes. When our DNS server finally validates our domain, pawfect.tech, the website URL will switch over to the actual name, as opposed to the automatically generated one it's hosted on now.
Eventually, we are aiming to branch out and establish PawTinder, where pets are open to forming romantic relationships.
