Inspiration
I came to this hackathon with the sole purpose of learning more about front-end development. I have been avoiding learning front-end Javascript frameworks, so I promised to learn them this weekend. I found that no challenges really cared about the user interface so I decided to try my best to create the most useless hack, with the most maximally complicated method I could think of.
What it does
The project does absolutely nothing. I built a full-stack web application that allows users to register their emails and authenticate their login so that they may have even more access to the useless features on the website.
How I built it
I used React, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Node.js, Express, Firebase, and MongoDB, and hosted it locally for demoing.
Challenges I ran into
I knew absolutely zero about Javascript prior to this hackathon, so I spent a very long time actually learning enough to put everything together.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I learned a ton during this hackathon and I'm really proud that I was able to create something functioning with so little prior knowledge.
What I learned
I learned a ton about front-end development, essentially all my knowledge of javascript was learned during this weekend.
What's next for World's most useful website
Create something actually useful. I have a great skeleton for something that could be great, so maybe in another hackathon, I could build off of this project.
