Inspiration
Virtual grandma was inspired by inspirational, loving, and occasionally silly texts sent by co-creator Mary Pletcher's real grandma (hi Mimi!). Originally imagined as "Texts From Grandma," the idea grew as we realized there are many reasons people turn to their grandmas. Thus, Virtual Grandma was born, a website meant to recreate the warm feeling of spending time with the grandma in your life!
What it does
Get texts inspired by real messages from a real grandma! Then explore Grandma's cookbook and craft inspiration to inspire some self-care.
How we built it
Virtual Grandma was made with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Challenges we ran into
As first-time hackers (and even first-time website builders for one of us!), the hardest part of building Virtual Grandma was working with the unfamiliar.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Even as a simple website, Virtual Grandma is personalized to every user. The first step is filling out your name and what you would like to call your grandma!
What we learned
A LOT! We were able to build not only coding skills but also improve our time management and design thinking!
What's next for Virtual Grandma
We envision a future Virtual Grandma that is more interactive and with more self-care functionality. We plan to add a section for journaling and self-care generators right in the site!
