Inspiration

After a project with a team fell apart, I had to think of a new idea if I still wanted to compete. This is what I came up with.

What it does

It converts a picture to text based on the brightness of the pixel.

How I built it

Python & HTML/CSS The HTML sends HTTP requests to POST the image to the python method. The python method then loops over the pixel, converts the color to a hex, then determines what letter/symbol to use based on the hex code.

Challenges I ran into

I don't know python. Also, a mentor Zach helped me with the POST request. The image file wouldn't send to the python method. Apparently, there was a trust issue with accepting files from the client.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I finished my project.

What I learned
