Inspiration
We are both writers and wanted to make a web app that both brings writers together and provides the inspiration to write every day.
What it does
After logging in, users have the opportunity to either get started on writing a story based on the daily prompt, read over their old stories, or go to the explore page and view other user's stories. They can also go to the community forum page to meet fellow writers.
How we built it
We built the app using php, a language neither of us had used before. We also used MySQL, a database neither of us had used before, to store user data.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge we faced was setting up php, composer, CakePHP, and MySQL. After setting everything up, our main challenge were syntax errors, especially when trying to implement bootstrap. We also got a lot of internal errors when trying to link all of the pages together and authorize users.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
Stephanie had only designed web apps on Figma and is proud to see one of her designs become a working app. Annie is proud of using CSS to create web pages.
What we learned
Stephanie learned how to use php, html, and databases. Annie learned a lot about php and MySQL.
What's next for Creative Corner
The next thing to do for Creative Corner is to implement the forums page.
