This is our figma design that we based the project on
Inspiration
One of our teammates Aarush had their flight delayed when heading to Boston. He was frustrated because it was so unexpected and caused his schedule to shift without any warning. This app allows user to foresee if there will be a delay so that they can plan their trip accordingly.
What it does
This website allows users to input their flight number and have their information displayed. The key feature that we have is the calculation of the chances of there being a flight delay.
How we built it
We used HTML, CSS, JS. We used two different API's. One of them was to acquire flight data. The other API uses an AI trained on previous flight data to calculate the delay chance from the flight data we input.
Challenges we ran into
We ran in to responsiveness and API problems regarding tokens. Some tokens could not work and others had expired. The API that we were using had a free trial but it had limited the requests we could make. Most of the features were behind a paywall such as HTTPS API calls. This means that our GitHub pages may not be able to work for most people. We also had trouble with the page layout as the overlapping of elements made it take more time to get the layout that we wanted.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of finding solutions to the API calls as well as our responsiveness dilemma. What we are mostly proud of is our Front End reflecting the values that the API obtained. And of course our little animations :).
Whats Next
We plan implementing a database where the users can store their information and save the flights that they inputted. We also would like to tweak the styling more and see what else we can do with our creative minds.
Note
The github page may not work due to the API we are using :(
