Inspiration 🤩

We as hackers ourselves have faced many issues because of sitting continuously in front of our screens and we forget to drink water, have back problems because of sitting. So we decided to make a project that can solve this issue.

What it does

It has two customizable timers. The user can set up any one or both of them simultaneously and they will get a notification to take a break. The notification can only be dismissed by clicking on it. It also has a dark background which reduces strain on the eyes

How we built it 🛠

We have built the complete project as standalone such that it doesn't need any back end. HTML and CSS was used for the creation and styling, whereas Javascript and jQuery are used to implement the timer logic.

Challenges we ran into 🌋

We are from different time zones so we had difficulty collaborating for our project work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of 🏆

  • Most of our team is inexperienced having attended only 1/no hackathons before, so we are proud that we were able to implement our project as per our expectations
  • Even though we are from different time zones, we were able to collaborate successfully

What we learned 📝

  • We learnt how to collaborate more effectively if we are from different time zones and double our amount of working hours

What's next for Break Alarm! 🚀

We plan to deploy our project on GitHub pages so that it can be easily used by anyone
