Inspiration

My lack of time management and sometimes procrastination.

What it does

Helps the user set up minimal steps in order to achieve or get to their main goal when developing their solution for a hackathon. Basically the user will first need to plan out the solution they are trying to build and with RapidSteps the user will create a list tasks that will help then reach the end goal .

How we built it

We will be using the Google RESTful api , particularly the Google tasks api.

The plug in will be accessed from the Devpost webapp. The user will click a icon of a clipboard to trigger the functionality of RapidSteps. Create or add an icon. Create a function that will ignite the RapidSteps services. Set up the enviroment for the Google tasks api using https://developers.google.com/tasks. language of choice is python. Create a credentials.json file that we had to add to our working directory. This file will contain information about RapidSteps app that will identify it to google. Create services needed by the user.

• add a task.
• delete a task.
• mark the task as done or complete.

Challenges we ran into

setting up the enviroment prooperly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Understanding json better Understanding RESTful api. Better time management.

What we learned

How to work with existing APIs

What's next for RapidSteps

First roll out to be on Google because a lot of devices can access the application. Create a visual representation of the build time line. We can also launch on other platforms like Microsoft , to expand the out reach.
