Inspiration 💡
The inspiration for TreFoil was to create a platform where individuals can come together to share their thoughts and ideas about climate change, as well as plan and attend events aimed at tackling this important issue. The aim is to create a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about taking action on climate change and working together to create a more sustainable future.
What it does 🌎
TreFoil is a social platform where users can create profiles and share their thoughts on climate change in short, 280-character posts, similar to Twitter. In addition, users can create events and invite others to join them, such as beach cleanups, tree plantings, or educational seminars on climate change. Users can browse the platform to find events that interest them or create their own events and invite others to join them.
How we built it 🏗️
It was built using Flask, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MongoDB. Flask provided a flexible and scalable backend for the platform, while HTML, CSS, and JavaScript were used for the frontend. Popular libraries and frameworks like Bootstrap were leveraged to speed up development and ensure consistency. MongoDB was used to implement a robust and efficient event management system. Overall, TreFoil has the potential to make a significant impact in the fight against climate change by empowering people to take collective action towards a more sustainable future.
