EcoConnect | Devpost

Inspiration

I got inspired to build EcoConnect when I thought if there was an app that allowed the users to connect with each other and have resources about sustainability and eco-friendliness. It took on from there.

What it does

EcoConnect connects companies, students, and people to the resources they need to take meaningful action towards a great future.

Our platform provides a one-stop-shop for sustainability solutions, including educational resources, networking opportunities, and access to sustainable products and services.

How I built it

I built EcoConnect using python with flask, html, and css. I also used Auth0 for user authentication. I integrated Auth0 into my flask application and built the user interface with html and css

Challenges I ran into

I ran into some challenges when I just started building out EcoConnect, I had no idea how I would make the websites layout and how it would work. I decided to go along with it and just create some code and it advanced from there.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm proud that the website turned out great. When I just started with Auth0 it was confusing at first but it was actually very easy and fun, and I'm happy I got to achieve that. And It was cool to see how my project turned out in the end.

What I learned

I got to use parts of html and css that I've never used before and learned a bunch of new stuff. I learned how to integrate APIs with Flask and have a complete web app. It was also fun to try out a new technology like Auth0 and really explore the capabilities.

What's next for EcoConnect

I hope to advance the project by adding more sections and improving the website even more. There is a lot of potential to make EcoConnect a place for everyone. I also plan to have a database of accounts registered so the users can connect with each other seamlessly.
