Inspiration
We drew inspiration from YouTube. We believed that the format of YouTube could be used as a helpful tool for the community.
What it does
This site allows people to keep up with news in their community. Users are able to create community groups as well as explore a news feed. It requires a login, as well as user authentication.
How we built it
We used a Django framework as well as GitHub to collaborate on the project. We also used Discord as our main source of communication.
Challenges we ran into
Something we struggled with was figuring out how to link the css to the cite because we had never tried to use css with django before. We also struggled with being virtual and not being able to work in person.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the fact that in such a short amount of time we were able to come up with a running version of our idea. It involved some complicated topics such as user authentication.
What we learned
We’ve learned to combine what we each independently know. We also had to learn how to look at problems from multiple different perspectives in order to find a solution.
What's next for CommunitySite
Next is the implementation of the following section. Users should be able to follow community groups to stay up to date with their news. We would also like to make a app to go with it.
