Inspiration

From Global Hack Week 2023 , MLH .

What it does

It takes input from the user and based on that input(tags) , it displays quotes .

How we built it

We used HTML,CSS, JAVASCRIPT and EJS as the frontend while using Express to deliver the backend. The API was handled by npm's 'axios' and 'body-parser'

Challenges we ran into

We could use the quotes.rest api as it had only 5 free responses throughout the day which was giving us a bit of a problem while testing the endpoints.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Without taking too long , we directly jumped into the Quotable api on GitHub and accomplished this task.

What we learned

We learnt about api data handling , json parsing and basic structure of an express app

What's next for QuoteIt

We would like to make it more attractive , add pre-written tags , a small space for QUOTE_OF_THE_DAY and a section for Your Thoughts where people can mail their personal favourite quotes and we could share it with the world
