Inspiration
When brainstorming ideas, the concept of a Public Interest Litigation suddenly came in our minds - it was an interesting part of Indian law that we all learnt in 8th grade Civics. Therefore, we decided to do something related to that concept, and we landed on the concept of a PIL maker.
What it does
The program asks for a few pieces of information, and then uses it to fill in the required details into an existing template for a Public Interest Litigation letter that is to be sent to the respective High Court.
How we built it
We built the app using the Python programming language, and used the Tkinter library for the GUI functionality. For the word document functionality, we used the docxtpl library
Challenges we ran into
It was very hard to code in the scrolling of the GUI. Also, at one point, a small bug caused by some spaces in a variable created a lot of frustration among us.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of the GUI and general functionality of the app and how we've managed to somehow finish it in spite of a time crunch.
What we learned
We have mainly learnt the importance of planning things from the start and finishing them on time.
What's next for Public Interest Litigation App
If we were to create an updated version of this app, we would consult a proper team of lawyers, so that we can get a better template for the PIL.
