  Feed of Colleagues

Inspiration

• We took inspiration from Twitter and other social media sites.
• We want people to connect with each other (and hence the name "connect.io" 😉)

What it does

• We allow users to sign in or sign up for the application.
  • If they sign up, they will get an OTP on their email (sent via Courier API) for email verification.
  • If they log in, they can post or read posts made by others.

How we built it

We use:

• streamlit for front-end and integration
• Firebase to authenticate and store data
• Courier API to send OTP for email verification.

Challenges we ran into

• Integrating Firebase into our application
• Integrating Courier API into our Application
• managing session states in streamlit.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• We learned Firebase and Courier API and built a working web application in under 40 hours
• We also understood exactly how to integrate the python frontend with Firebase

What we learned

• We learned Firebase
• We also learned how to use the courier API
• We learned how to integrate all of these.

What's next for Connect.io

• Better UI. The UI/UX of the app is not up to the mark and could be better.
