Study Buddy

Inspiration

I had always known people who needed certain help with their assignments, and typing out the answers on Discord never really felt like it was worth it.

What it does

I decided to build a solution where people can upload and share their solutions (with markdown) to be able to help others understand the answer instead of just trying to plug and chug in math.

How we built it

It uses a firebase firestore database, hosted on GCP app engine.

Challenges we ran into

I had no clue how to use firestore's API, and that ended up being the biggest problem as I continued to work on it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works - enough? I've never used firestore before.

What we learned

Don't go pure HTML/CSS/JS.

What's next for Study Buddy

images stored in s3 or firebase storage + actually well-written code (w/o pure html/css/js)
