Inspiration
Main thing that inspired us would be the fact that we're all under stay-at-home orders because people don't want to wear masks.
What it does
The project takes a business and it's address, and returns the best day and time to visit the business such that it is safe.
How we built it
We built it using HTML, CSS, Flask, and Python. We used HTML and CSS for the frontend to get the location input and display what our backend returned. We used Python to take the input and use the BestTime API to return the best day and time to visit a business. Finally, we used Flask to communicate between the frontend and the Python file.
Challenges I ran into
The main challenge we ran into was the set up. The project involved us having to set up a variety of different software such that we could actually make the website. Another challenge that we had was that we had to learn some things from scratch such as HTML, CSS, and Flask.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
We were successfully able to code a website that takes data, communicates it with a Python file that uses an API, and return the result.
What we learned
We learned a variety of things including: -HTML -CSS -REST API -Flask
What's next for When should I go?
Next steps would be to put the times in a list and even be able to plan a safe route for the user. Additionally, we could improve on the CSS and make it prettier. Also, we could host this on a domain as well.
