Inspiration

Two of our team members work as Event Technicians on campus at George Mason. The job is split across multiple venues across campus, making it difficult to coordinate certain things. A common problem we run into is knowing who is on shift, if they are available and if so, where they are. This website hopes to solve that issue.

What it does

The website will show the availability, location, status and more of all employees currently on shift. At once glance, you can see how the entire team is doing. At the top, you are able to input your own information to update others.

How we built it

We built the project using React, Tailwind CSS, HTML and Javascript for the frontend. There is also a backend component, programmed in Javascript on an Express node.js server. The backend connects to an MySQL database, storing user activity, locations, names, etc.

Challenges we ran into

One of our biggest problems was deploying the website to a live web server. A lot of things that work locally don't always work on a different server, and a lot of networking issues had to be solved.
