Inspiration
We wanted to create a app for people to arrange local clean ups in their area to clean up the environment. We believe the power of many small clean ups can have a big impact on preserving our world, and therefore wanted to make it easier to do.
What it does
This is a website that allows people to host their own clean up events and participate in other's clean up events.
How we built it
We originally tried to use node.js, but due to our lack of experience with node.js we had issues writing new HTML files to the proper directly. We then only had less than 2 hours left so we recoded it in PHP forking one of team member's old projects for online store listings and recoded it to fit our needs.
Node.Js https://github.com/Memphis-Hackclub/Clean-Up-App
Code Forked from: https://github.com/3Dbay/phpwebpage-generator
Challenges we ran into
Learning Node.js Writing files with Node.js PHP issues Rebuilding the project
Accomplishments that we're proud of
A working app that is useful to people and furthers the planet! We furthered our knowledge of Node.js and wrote over 100 working lines. Learned many new Node.js concepts We learned how to take a user's location in JS.
What we learned
Spend less time brain storming and more time building. There are times to use tools you are familiar with and times to learn. We learned more about node.js , backend webdev, and js in general.
What's next for Want to Help The Earth
