Comment

Inspiration 💡

From personal experience and from experience of others we saw a lot of people having trouble managing their time and collaborating efficiently with others because they did not have the tools they needed to do so, we took an inspiration from that problem to find a solution for it and came up with this to solve that problem in our own way

What it does ⚙️

Virtual Study Rooms is a productivity application focused on helping the end user easily collaborate with others and have a simple application for everything they could need, pomodoro timer, lo-fi music player, to-do lists, live updating chat, twilio for SMS inviting people to use the application. It works the same on mobile as it does on your computer!

How we built it ⚒️

We built it using Svelte as the framework, Node.js for backend, Express.js for our Twilio API Wrapper, Bulma CSS and HTML for frontend

Challenges we ran into ❌

We had to adopt a lot of new technology, basically everything in our tech stack was new to most of us so it was a challenge, but in the end we figured everything out after hours of errors we couldn't solve and a lot of thinking.

Accomplishments that we're proud of 😊

How the final website turned out, we like how the site is as functional as we originally expected it to be. We are proud that we had fun in the process and we met each other and we will work together outside of this hackathon!

What we learned 👨‍🔬

Learned how to use firebase, netlify (for hosting), svelte as a web framework, express.js, heroku (hosting our twilio API) and better communication skills

What's next for Virtual Study Rooms ⏭️

We would like to rewrite virtual study rooms in React to meet industry standards, make the website more colorful and design it a bit better, advertise it to people and hope it is used for it's original purpose!
