Inspiration
We were inspired by our own challenges that we faced during the lockdown, and the serious effects it had on our mental health.
What it does
Firstly, you have to register with your email and password to enter Stigma Free Zone. Here you are also given an option to enter the reminder website that we designed. This website allows you to enter tasks you wish to complete and sends you e-mail notifications according to the time you set. It makes you follow the routine that you have created and reminds you when it’s time to move on to the next project or assignment. The main aim of our website is to inspire productivity and creativity during the lockdown.
How we built it
We used the pycharm interface and html in order to code for the automated part of our project and further edited and enhanced a wix template to fit it to the requirements of our project. First, we created a basic login page using HTML. then, we linked it to the wix website. We were also able to learn how to embed the python automated code and link it to the email and the website we had already created.
Challenges we ran into
Our team came across a lot of problems while building this code. Firstly, we faced some difficulties while trying to use flask. However, after carefully observing our code we realised our errors and quickly fixed them. We are also beginners to python automation and had to learn it. Another challenge we encountered was trying to collaborate on the project. Moreover, writing this code as a whole was a challenging but exciting experience.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Some in particular accomplishments we were proud of were learning to get the basics of coding in html and python,working on our skills as individuals and as a united team. Furthermore, we are also proud that we could finish this in our short limited time. Creating this platform on an issue that is so close to our hearts is also definitely something we are proud of.
What we learned
As a group we were collectively able to widen our horizon and gain comprehensive knowledge on a varying number of topics ranging from the essentials of making a web page to interactive automated interface. We were able to learn how to operate and work together as a group and take into consideration the varying viewpoints and ideas to ensure what we did was best for project
What's next for Stigma Free Zone
The stigma free zone is a place where people can be free of problems like anxiety,depression,etc. In the future we hope to update the website to allow the users to talk to each other. We also hope we can change the emails to notifications and reach the vast number of people who need us.
