Why build a personal website when you can build a squad website?
What it does
Our website helps the Hacks team keep track of each other as we get older and is a gathering place for everyone to meet up and communicate with each other.
How we built it
MERN
Challenges we ran into
not knowing any of this stack -Allison
background images are challenging in react, because you have to set height to 100% or it defaults to 0%/nothing
vertically centering divs
We wrote this website from scratch - no templates, only pain :')
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The about us page looks pretty cool
The doodles are fun, especially the "surfing the web" guy
What we learned
