Inspiration
We wanted to stick with the "community" section, because we believe the world is all about it. There exists community apps of neighborhoods, apartments, but it would be good where we could interact by lending or borrowing our materials to others and engaging this way.
What it does
The web has several functions on the top of every page, from "My Tools" to "Forum", where we can put our tools up and let others borrow it, and we can do the same to other users. The forum section lets users to ask questions, or talk to another other about using a certain tool.
How we built it
We first built it by using React, which we learned from one of the lectures yesterday from Spark Hacks. From there, we implemented our thoughts and ideas to it. Since we already had all the pages written in hand, we knew how each page would look like, and we needed to just figure out a way to make the front end of each page.
Challenges we ran into
We had some hardships with the connection between our front end and back end. We could do it separately, but it was hard connecting them together to actually make it function properly. Later, our back end teammate wasn't able to come, so we had to change plans and build everything on the front end.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Accomplishments we are proud of are that we encountered a big problem where one of our teammate could not make it, and he, who was supposed to do the back end did not show up. So we had to quickly make a change of plan and we started building everything on the front end and make all the buttons function properly.
What we learned
We learned that brainstorming is very important. We could get off to a good start because we had enough time of brainstorming for ideas and splitting tasks. However, we also think that if we had a little bit more time of brainstorming and working together, we could have accomplished the task much faster and better.
What's next for ToolsUnity
Since we lacked time, we could not make great details into it. However, we learned from the Figma lecture yesterday and we could do a lot with colors and formatting pieces. If we find out some ways to implement Figma with React, I believe we are able to make a much organized app and also we can add more features into it.
