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 :)
