Inspiration
Collaborating with hackers on the other side of the world is rewarding yet challenging, there are issues such as different timezones, practices, cultural expectations.
When multiple timezones are involved, it is hard to find time to discuss and decide on the project details. Existing tools for scheduling meetings are not ideal or lack certain features.
In light of this, we are would like to build a meeting scheduler for the wider community of hackers, which allows users to easily find the best time to meet.
What it does
Features:
Login/ register
Copy and paste scheduler link to fill in availability
Show and select overlapping availability
Send customized meeting messages to confirm meeting time
How we built it
UI design using Figma
Front-end developemnt using Jinja
Back-end development using Flask
Challenges we ran into
Time zone was a challenge, as we have 3 different time zones and some not all developers are awake at the same time. However, we are able to overcome this through effective communication, planning, and use of Discord.
Some of our developers are beginners in web development, we spent a considerable amount of time learning syntax of html, css and python , and debugging.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have completed the UI design and app development.
What we learned
We learnt a lot about using Jinjia and Flask for web development.
What's next for SynChrony
New Features
Integrate calendar
Users can directly add scheduled meetings to their calendar
Share invitation
Allow users to share the invitation link in email or other communication apps
Edit meeting
If there are any changes to schedules, users can change their availability, notify other users and schedule another meeting
Options for time conversion
Instead of converting all detected time zones on the web page, users can click or hover a timezone to view the conversion
