Inspiration

We wanted to go with the theme of the hackathon since it was our first one. We didn't finish however.

What it does

The plan was to use a Google Flights API to pull prices where needed. After learning of it's deprecation however, we were stumped on what to do next.

How we built it

We started with Node.js and figured out some basics on building a simple website. The plan was to use python, but some issues got in the way that were beyond our control.

Challenges we ran into

One of us got food poisoning. The other had to take the cat to the vet... Eventful weekend haha.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Starting out with Node.js has been great. Figuring out how some dependecies work using Glitch (discovered thanks to this hackathon. TYTY) we were able to start up some "Hello World" type of websites and got very shortly on the way to customizing it.

What we learned

Node.js, Git, Python, and general starting out on website building. It has been fun.

What's next for Vacation Calculator

We might try to actually build it. We are hopeful of the success, however, we also hope to get other hackcathons with more projects to learn more.
