Inspiration

We were inspired by the vast quantity of scheduling services, used by different courses in school. A friend of ours missed his first test due to the fact that all of the information for his courses were scattered in different places.

What it does

The "Uni Student's Lifesaver" webapp allows for the creation of events in a more simple and user friendly interface than other major digital calendars. The system will also notify you in the form of an SMS text message prior to your event with a time specified by the user.

How we built it

We began by establishing a sqlite database to store users and user events. We then transferred events to FullCalendarJs, which allowed for a fast and attractive calendar design. Inserting and deleting event options were then implemented and we developed a way export users calendars as a .ics file.

Challenges we ran into

Converting between time zones, integrating the SMS text message feature with the calendar system.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The usefulness of the reminder system and how user the friendly the entire interface is.

What we learned

We learned how to write to .ics files and developed a better understanding of RESTful Api.

What's next for Uni Student's Lifesaver

Use the skills we gained to pursue more ambitious projects involving cutting edge technology and moving towards Node.js and React based applications
