Talking Cloud

Inspiration

During this pandemic, I've noticed that children aren't getting the necessary English practice that is required to improve themselves. The education sector's tools didn't seem to be in the best shape to help with this pandemic.

What it does

The teacher or parent can setup a student to create tasks for students to complete. The student can fulfill these tasks through the website or Amazon Alexa.

How I built it

Front-end: HTML, CSS, ReactJS, Webpack, Apollo

Back-end: GraphQL, NodeJS/ExpressJS, PostgreSQL, AWS RDS

Design: Inkscape, Blender3D, Adobe XD, Adobe Photoshop

DevOps: Cypress, Github, Digital Ocean, AWS

Other: AWS Lambda

Challenges I ran into

There are so many things I want to achieve in this and I'm still figuring those out.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Everything about this app. It has been an absolute challenge, but it's a joy to work on it from the ground up.

What I learned

This app has helped me thoroughly explore app creation. Whether it was through the backend, database, server managmenet, SQL Queries, GraphQL Queries, designing, frontend, and various APIs.

What's next for Talking Cloud

Better design, more task content, setting up the code for content, networking, and more. The app is still in its development stage and we are actively improving it.
