Inspiration

I am inspired by the State Farm challenge: to create something that helps the community.

What it does

It is a Python app that hosts a RESTful API, allowing users to be authenticated, then access or edit community event listings.

How we built it

With Python. Since this is my first experience with databases, I experimented with two types of databases, the replit database and the SQLite-based SQL database.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenges are syntax and database structure. For example, I spent an hour before I realized that request.json is not equivalent to request.get_json().

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works! As my first database app, I am happy how it turns out.

What we learned

Creating API with multiple end points, managing databases with Python.

What's next for The Town Square

Building a supplementary front end and improving token management :)
