Inspiration

The need for a hurricane tracking application that updates its users frequently, with also being modernized

What it does

Using the Tiger data Api, we use real time data to provide useful information depending the types of users. Then using primarily Java Script, for our front end allowing user to easily interact with the interface. From the interface, the user is able to access information from the grid, with information tailored to their interest

How we built it

This was built using applications like visual studio code as well as extensions that can be applied in the browser

Challenges we ran into

We ran into issues with merging the frontend and the backend in VS code using Github repositories and forking to share code between 2 systems

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As this is our first Hackathon, we are proud for reaching the goal that we set to accomplish in this amount of time. Though there is still much to do, it was a learning experience like no other.

What we learned

We learned do's and dont's to having a successful hackathon experience, and what to expect when entering an environment like this.

What's next for GridPulse

We intend to keep working on this idea, expounding on the idea of reporting incidents to employees and maybe specifying our searches down to a specific plant and employee
