Inspiration
Our project was inspired by close friends who struggle to keep track of the plants they have, we thought it would be great to create an application where they can track the plants they have and explore plants from our database.
What it does
It allows users to look up plants and their information from a database. Ideally, users can store their plants on this website. You can tell the site when you planted the plant, and some other basic info about how you planted it. This helps gardeners keep track of what plants they do or don't have. We were unable to get to the last part of the code, but with more time, this is where we would expand our application.
How we built it
We built it using html, CSS, bootstrap, GitHub pages, and .tech domain name.
Challenges we ran into
Database management. Walking in, none of us had a lot of database management experience. Since our plant info is stored in a database, this quickly proved to be one of the harder aspects of our coding journey. We had to learn the basics of how to read and write info to a database in order to get our application working.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the fact that we were able to get our .tech domain name hooked up to our website. This process was a bit difficult, but we are happy that we were able to get it working.
What we learned
We learned about hosting websites and database management.
What's next for Plant Parenthood
We would love to get to the second part of the project: implementing the My Garden feature which allows users to track their gardens.
