Inspiration

3 college friends who finally decided to create and launch the web app that we've been dreaming of since the summer at TreasureHacks. We drew a lot of inspiration from already existing apps like Pomofocus and LifeAt.io

What it does

ZenStudy is a web app that will help you focus with minimal distraction. It offers a selection of handpicked music, a to-do list, and a timer.

How we built it

Mockups built on Figma
VSCode as development environment
HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Live Server Extension
BootStrap

Challenges we ran into

We all had trouble with styling our elements on the website. We also faced challenges with merge conflicts as it was an area new to most of us. However, after going through many StackOverflow and W3School pages we were able to get answers to our questions.
