Inspiration
The theme of hacklarious was to build something silly while trying to learn something new. Taking inspiration from one of the silliest hardware projects:
We decided to build something similar but just in software
What it does
Just a simple website that has a large button and when a user clicks the button the server hosting the website is killed and a message is relayed to the user "I was killed, please restart" in a funny way.
How I built it
Python + Flask + SocketIO for the backend Javascript + jQuery + HTML for the frontend
Categories of submission:
We are also submitting 2 domains for the funniest domain on domain.com :p : uselesstech.tech themostuselesswebsiteever.tech
The plan was to host our project on these domains, but unfortunately could not get it in time to work
Challenges I ran into and what we learned
Both team members were only experienced with low level embedded programming before this (C and Assembly) and a little python for scripting purposes only. Therefore the biggest challenge with this project was to learn enough javascript + jquery + Flask + WebSockets in 24 hours to implement this project
