Inspiration
This project sparked from a real-world problem from a college campus. The initial goal for the project was to create a simple, electronic app that could track college bikes.
What it does
GoBike allows you to see available, unavailable, and broken bikes on a college campus. Users can check in/out bikes, reserve bikes, and report broken bikes.
How I built it
HTML and CSS were written from scratch using Sublime Text. Graphics were created using GIMP and the Noun Project. Javascript was then implemented into the HTML.
Challenges I ran into
The team had a background in front-end developing but not back-end development. They discussed the use of database using Parse, Java, or PHP. The team then decided to learn and use Javascript for simplicity.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Everyone learned Javascript!
What's next for GoBike
Transforming it into a template which services and events can use to organize large quantities of hardware.
