Inspiration

Sidd was lonely and wanted to check his compatibility in hopes of finding love <3

  • in all seriousness, we were browsing rapidapi and found this cool api

What it does

  • Connects to the Love Calculator API
  • Displays a super cool emoji rain depending on your compatibility score!
  • You can go back and enter as many people as you want without refreshing the page!

How we built it

  • React JS frontend
  • Automated deploying on GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions
  • API Key secrets masked using GitHub Action Secrets
  • Protected production branch workflow enabled using GitHub Pull Requests and Issues

Challenges we ran into

  • General merge conflicts
  • React is a struggle to grasp sometimes
  • Emoji rain sometimes didn't rain :( (fixed)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • The UI turned out really good
  • The emoji rain
  • Automated GitHub Actions
  • The wiki

What we learned

  • How to build and deploy a decently polished React website
  • GitHub utilities (including actions PRs and branch protection rules)
  • API development with React
  • how to rain emojis

What's next for Summer Fling
