Inspiration

We wanted a way to incorporate studying and giving back, and so we came up with Work Hard Pay Hard!

What it does

Instead of blocking websites while you study or work, we've created a chrome extension that donates an amount of your choice (from 2 cents to a dollar) to charity when you visit sites that you've blocked (for example, Facebook or Twitter)

How we built it

We used javascript to add functionality to our chrome extension, and CSS/HTML for styling

Challenges we ran into

None of us have ever made a chrome extension before, and we weren't familiar with javascript or jquery

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the customizability of Work Hard Pay Hard. We're proud of our friendship

What we learned

We learned how to work well on a team, we learned how to persist data in a chrome extension, we learned how to make Get/Post requests, and we learned

What's next for Work Hard Pay Hard

We plan to make it more secure using the Google Payment API, include more options for charities, and have an automated email with the billing receipt
