Pulse

Event Discovery, Powered by Community. What’s more punk rock than community?

Comment

Inspiration

Bring power to the people by streamlining community discovery. Community is extremely important in this trying times. I imagined a web-app likes Waze, community posted events, to keep people informed of their community.

What it does

Map and database that tracks events, clicking the map will create a marker. Pressing create event then prompts you to write the events name and detail.

How I built it

Python Flask for the back-end, connecting to a PostgresSQL Database hosted on Railway. The front-end is created with Vite + React, using Tailwind CSS for styling. Utilizing the Google Maps API for an accurate map for users to use.

Challenges we ran into

In the modern realm of Computer Science, we walk a tight rope with AI. This project showed me how rough ChatGPT and other LLMs can be in the heat of development. Trying to debug an LLMs errors is like trying to catch your own tail.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I did not know anything about web development besides basic HTML and CSS before a day ago. I now know enough to spin up another project in half the time. Tailwind is gorgeous and much easier to use then default CSS, making the application look professional and real.

What I learned

Everything to begin my web development journey. That I am actually a developer, even if, for this project I shackled myself to an AI with late stage memory issues. I am capable of being a great developer.

What's next for Pulse

This app is unfortunately missing a lot that would make me truly proud of it.
