Inspiration

As university students waking up for classes is hard specially after working on a project until 4 am. With WinkMeUP wake up to your friends rhythm your letting them choose what song plays on your phone when your alarm rings.

What it does

  1. Create an account
  2. Add your friends
  3. Upload your songs to your playlist
  4. Set up your alarm
  5. Link a friend to your alarm
  6. Go to sleep
  7. Wake up with the music of your friends playlist
  8. If you liked give your friend a wink

How I built it

Front end

We used HTML,CSS,JavaScript and BootStrap framwork to create an elegant user friendly interface.

Back end

We used python as the main back end and the json format to store account in the data base with features allowing to add,remove friends same for the music and set up your alarm

Challenges I ran into

Time constraint: we were despite our hard work unable to fully link the python back end with the U/I interface Programing constrains: JSON parsing and dumping using python is very delicate and it took us a while to be able to have a well functioning database.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • Manage to get the front end functional and user friendly
  • Use a database structure that we were not familiar with
  • Submit a project with front end and back end despite not having the time to link them.
  • Submit to devpost our very first hacking project ever!!

What I learned

  • Using the JSON library
  • Creating a usable website
  • Design a project from scratch
  • Work in collaboration
  • The thinking and development process that lead to awsome project ideas.

What's next for WinkMeUp

  • Use a SQL type database to store the Data
  • Connect the front end to back end
  • Provide a mobile app
  • Propose the project as a add on for social media
  • Support video formats
