Inspiration

millions of people are having their menstrual periods at the same time, but not everyone has the accessibility to proper guidance on how to choose the right menstrual product. This women based hackathon gave us a chance to bring up this problem to the crowd and present our general solutions

What it does

She Decides helps users choose the right menstrual products for them by asking questions on key factors that key affect their choices on the menstrual products. It also provides detailed explanations and suggestions regarding on users specific situations

How we built it

We used JavaScript to construct the overall logical structure, and built up/ modified the web page using CSS and HTML

Challenges we ran into

We ran into dilemma on how to construct the correct logic frame to exclude what is not the right fit for users while still keeping them available choices. It is easy to fully give up on a choice, but that causes the issue where no choice is left. We decided to use weighted variables to form our suggestions instead of exclusion, so we can provide the users enough selections while keeping the preferences

Accomplishments that we're proud of

we accomplished all the challenges we ran into, formed a fully functioned website with our artistic design, and linked the page to a modified search on shopping site

What we learned

it is easy to come up with an idea, but it is not always easy to present it in a logical way regarding on all the concerns. When it comes to problem solving, it is important to figure out the best performance and take every unexpected situation into consideration

What's next for SheDecides

details can be added to the existing searching, including the brand preferences, rate based sorting, more websites/ Apps to link and browse etc. Overall we can create a platform to provide users the best solution on their purchases
