Inspiration

This idea is inspired by haveibeenpwned.com, which searches for passwords from different sources. Instead of passwords, I thought it could be useful to to search usernames as well.

What it does

It should list out the sites that your username has been used on

How we built it

This uses a React-Flask stack, with react as frontend and flask as the backend

Challenges

Initially, this was supposed to be a team project. However, our initial project (on our 1st idea) ended up failing, and this idea came up midway to replace it. Since it was late into the hackathon, however, most of my team dropped, and I decided to continue this on my own

Unfinished Business

Connect the backend to a search API Host online (Heroku or some other cloud service)

What's next for Username Search

To improve upon this, I can create a cache so that a search API call isn't used on repeated usernames (unless desired).
