How we built it
TrendTrove was built using a combination of EJS and CSS for the front-end design, while Express was used for the back-end development. MongoDB was used for storing user data, which allowed for easy scalability and data management. Additionally, the Twilio API was integrated for OTP verification, which ensures the security and authenticity of user accounts.
The EJS templating engine was used for creating dynamic web pages, which allowed for easy integration of data from the back-end. The CSS framework was used for styling the front-end, which ensures a clean and modern design for the user interface.
Express was used for the back-end development, which allowed for efficient routing, request handling, and middleware management. Express also provides a robust set of tools for managing authentication, data storage, and security features, which were essential for building a secure and scalable application like TrendTrove.
MongoDB was used for storing user data, which allowed for efficient data management and scalability. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it is highly flexible and can store data in a variety of formats. This made it easy to store user data in a way that is easily accessible and scalable as the application grows.
The Twilio API was integrated for OTP verification, which ensures the security and authenticity of user accounts. Twilio is a cloud communications platform that provides a variety of APIs for sending and receiving messages, making phone calls, and verifying user identities. By integrating Twilio, TrendTrove was able to ensure that only authorized users could access the application, and that their personal information was kept secure.
Challenges we ran into
Creating TrendTrove presented a number of challenges throughout the development process. Some of the key challenges we encountered include:
Integrating multiple APIs: Integrating the APIs of different platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Twitter was a challenging task. These platforms have different data structures and authentication methods, which made it difficult to ensure smooth integration and seamless data retrieval.
Real-time data synchronization: TrendTrove is a real-time tracking platform, which means that it needs to constantly update and retrieve data from multiple sources. Ensuring that the data is synchronized in real-time and that the platform remains responsive was a significant challenge.
Scalability: As the user base grows, the platform needs to be able to handle a large amount of data and user requests. Ensuring that the platform is scalable and that it can handle increased traffic was a significant challenge.
Security: Ensuring the security of user data and preventing unauthorized access was a significant challenge. We had to implement advanced security measures like two-factor authentication and secure data storage to ensure that the platform was safe for users.
Overall, these challenges required a significant amount of time and effort to overcome. However, with a dedicated development team and a commitment to excellence, we were able to create a powerful and intuitive platform that helps content creators stay on top of the latest trends and create compelling content.
