Inspiration

Being bored while staying at home, we created an app to get rid of our boredom!

What it does

This application provides many accessible features such as the recent Covid - 19 News, Movies, Chat, and blogs about things you could do including cooking, exercising, reading books and much more!

How we built it

We used https://github.com/umluizlima/flask-pwa as a template for creating a progressive web application on flask. Our app was made using python, python flask module, html, css and javascript.

Challenges we ran into

Creating the application as a PWA app was a difficult task. Also, integrating API’s and a chat room to flask was challenging at first since we have not dealt with flask PWA and socket.io before.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a centralized Progressive Web App, the future of web applications, that can serve content that help us during the boring times that we are stuck in right now.6 It spreads awareness of COVID-19 and helps us be productive and find ways to utilize our time. Our web application can also be run both on computer and on mobile.

What we learned

We learnt about the amazing capabilities of web applications. We began to truly understand the method to create proper and pristine applications. And to be honest, we learned the importance of hard work and learning as an overall accomplishment.

What's next for Quarantimes

We wish to deploy this app so that it can be hosted on a web server. That way, it would be accessible to anyone on the internet with ease. During this time, our website is very useful for the community and makes a positive impact.
