The Ink Spot

Inspiration

We know how hard being a small writer can be, and we also know that out there we can find millions of amazing writers waiting for a chance to get noticed. We wanted to be able to create a safe space that could kick start small authors' careers!

What it does

The Ink Spot is a web page where authors can send their work so they have an accessible way of promoting it and finding publishers! We also want to be able to create a community and to help us with that, we have our discord server and discord bot that will allow us to promote the work we receive with many people. Are you looking for a fantastic history essay? Just type the word ‘history’ in the discord server and you will get a recommendation from our authors

How we built it

To create the webpage we used CSS, javascript, and HTML. For the bot, we used Discord for developers, python, and the discord python library. We also used zoom and geneva to work as a team.

Challenges we ran into

For some of us, it was the first time using HTML, javascript, and CSS, however, making things it’s the best way of learning! While coding we were having some issues with repl.it and when doing the bot we had some problems connecting the code with the actual bot on the server, however, we figured everything out and solve it on time

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We started this project pretty late yesterday because we just joined the hackathon! We definitely had little time to do this, however, we were able to create a beautiful project in hours.

What we learned

Part of our team learned to use HTML, CSS, and javascript for the first time ever, and some of us also learned to use python and discord developers tools!

What's next for The Ink Spot

We want to continue working on the design and accessibility features to make The Ink Spot the best place for small authors! Also, keep adding features to our discord server and discord bot.
