Inspiration
We came across a talent gap in tech volunteering opportunities - the best CS professionals had no way to connect to nonprofits who needed their help.
What it does
SoftServ connects tech professionals on temporary leave [e.g. maternity leave] to non-profits who need CS-related assistance.
How we built it
Multi-page MEAN stack application, angular for front-end, node.js and express.js for back-end. MongoDB to store and serve clients. CRUD functionality on back-end.
Challenges we ran into
Current angular documentation changed very recently [during project development]. Slow local systems.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Completed task during the time allotment, created an aesthetically-pleasing front-time. Explored new tech stacks and technologies, collaborated in a group of diverse and unique individuals.
What we learned
How to use the [new] angular.js client. Basic DOM manipulation.
What's next for SoftServ
Secure funding and beta launch after the hackathon!
