xoop - message or run workflows any time from any device.

In cyber cafe and labs, we use different device n sign up for small task like reminder or email. Sometimes we want to add note, but we don't have access to any device. With Xoop, it's just magical!

Inspiration

before lockdown during my office and college days, I ran into problems where I needed to send email or make important reminder to myself which I often used to forget. Logging with google account or trusting device was plus point to make me lazy and not do that. From very early point, I was clear about what I wanted to make. It would be one tweet like box which would be powerful and intuitive enough to fulfil my all wish.

What it does

  • Send telegram/whatsapp message to yourself just with username.
  • If message is too short add ### and add enough text to let us decide whether it's you or not. (You could type about your boring day or just have fun scribbling)
  • With special command, you can send email to someone without even logging in. [ifttt workflow using api-ifttt keyword which gives you your unique json endpoint]
  • Alerts you whenever we detect suspicious login in todo app
  • utility functions (edit/set username/profile photo, WhatsApp status, etc)

How to begin

  • find typingDNA_bot using telegram
  • follow steps to register yourself
  • /whatsapp command to setup option WhatsApp notification
  • Now, visit xoop.me whenever you want to send message to yourself or run workflow
  • if confidence is (40-60% then message will be sent to telegram only) , >60% will send message to you and below that level it will fail.
  • Currently there is no UI for special commands (ifttt/zapier). (You can access it by https://typingdna-public-xoop-api.firebaseio.com/{sha-256 of your username}/{ddmmyyyy}/api-keyword.json )

How I built it

Given 31 day long Hackathon, I planned quite a few thing after I joined. I built xoop.me page with Vue and Tailwind, TodoApp in React, backend and telegram bot using python and firebase and lots of open source GitHub magic.

Challenges I ran into

Last week I lost my Mac data completely and realised value of GitHub but being old fashioned and noob in industry I learned my hard lesson. I am paying for my mistake and apart from that everyday was challenge in itself given how can I accomplish something in the best way possible

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Apart from lovely 4 letter domain name I got today, Submitting this project on time was never easier and still incomplete in some places here and there. But that's something I am proud of and would like to make it into mature product

What I learned

Always have a backup typing-dna can be great behind the scene authentication enterprises/companies can make use of.

What's next for xoop - message or run workflows any time from any device.

it depends. I am struggling developer. Last 4 month with 0 INR income. Next Hackathon or maybe keeping this Hackathon memory, write some blog, polish! let's see. always open for feedback :)

(p.s. some links are routed through local development or server is running locally. If you face any connectivity error. Please try after some time or contact me on telegram @youruniqueid )
