Quote Database

Challenge:

Code for Empowerment

Inspiration

For some time, I've been wanting to have my own list of things I could conveniently access and modify easily, and I've always wanted somewhere to gather the inspirational quotes I stumbled upon

What it does

It allows you to enter a string of text, which it will keep in its database. You can cycle through all the quotes you've gathered at the top of the webpage

How I built it

I built a basic webpage, and with the help of copilot and a kind mentor, was able to connect it to my very first server

Challenges I ran into

Since I'm unfamiliar with the technicalities of servers, I ran into an issue where the packets were not sending to the database. My mentor advised me to add Cors, which fixed the issue.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• debugging in an unfamiliar language
• trying something new
• taking my first step to making a website
• adding some basic design to the webpage ## What I learned
• bits and pieces about how servers work and how to configure them
• the terminal can only run one process at a time so you need to host the backend server on a separate terminal ## What's next for Quote Database
