DawgExplore was built with React, Node.js, TypeScript, HTML5, and JSS for its front-end. For our back-end, we used a Python Flask API which connected our front-end with an SQLAlchemy Database consisting of all of our event data. In order to get our event data, we created a Python web scraper that converted data found in https://calendar.uga.edu/ into an Excel file. In order to create our assets, we used FireAlpaca, and for the purpose of UI prototyping and development, we used Figma. Our app is soon to be deployed on Heroku.
