Inspiration

A dish-washing race. I don't really enjoy washing dishes so I often leave it untill I feel like it. One time, my friend and I both had to wash dishes so we decided to race to who completed it the fastest. Not only was that fun, but it got me motivated to do something I dislike doing. This inspired Satsuma. Sometimes, like doing dishes, I often leave doing homework untill the very last minute, but I feel like with Satsuma, there would be a fun competition to get me and my peers to be productive and be motivated to do our work.

What it does

Satsuma is a Chrome Extension aiming to help students and people in the workplace with productivity (and motivation) by making it more fun to complete assigned tasks.

How we built it

We built this using HTML, JS, and CSS with Qoom and designed and planned everything with Figma. We first planned everything with Figma, then added the design. While doing that, the other teammates were doing the back-end and the logic. We were trying to use Qoom's database but we soon realized even if we were familiar with it, we wouldn't have enough time to code everything (since even just the account making/login part took a long time), so we decided just to make a mock-up that would work similarly to how our envisioned one would.

Challenges we ran into

we were new to using databases
coming up with a too complicated idea
coming up with too many ideas
not spending time well (we spend too much time attempting to do the back end instead of focusing on the mockup)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned
