Inspiration
So, the inspiration came from the ongoing COVID19 Pandemic due to which, to be honest, Our lives have kinda stopped. In such a time, people are unable to decide what to do. I mean, I myself am confused about what to do. Now rather than doing something, many of us are wasting our time thinking about "What to do?". So, in order to make it easy for ourselves, we developed this so that you can organise your activities and manage your time well.
What it does
Allows users to view all the Coding Events and Hackathons on premier platforms like CodeChef, CodeForces, HackerEarth, etc..
Allows the user to add the events in the Calendar by choosing either a particular category or choosing them all. The Calendar in turn provides notification to the user and helps in managing time.
How I built it
For Backend we used Flask with MVC architecture.
We used High-Quality Database with Postgres.
We created a Configurable RESTful API’s reusable for any other application: mobile software.
Greatly streamlined user-experience with React
We added Google calender API feature
Heroku is used as cloud hosting provider.
Challenges I ran into
The main challenge was integration of front-end and back-end since we divided those part among us. Rest all was fine. Thinking about the layout and all was too time consuming.
What I learned
The Environment, got to know new people, and the motivation may help you to find alternative solutions with new technologies.We have learned that cooperation is essential for a successful group project, particularly during a quarantine period, where smart working is the only way to be together.
What's next for ContestCal
Adding vscode to our project to create an integrated coding environment.
