Inspiration

The hackathon topic and image conversion example sparked this idea. The suggestion of something that made a task in life simpler: "I hate typing in the amazon notification every time I try to log in."

What it does

Allows fast and easy text and image transfer between devices. (Image currently does not work on mobile.)

How we built it

Utilized WebSocket to send data between devices. The web app was made with Electron, html, css, and javascript. The mobile app was made with Flutter.

Challenges we ran into

On the mobile end, state management is extremely unwieldy-- it's hard to get text to update itself in response to an event because the widget has to rebuild itself.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Two different clients and auto-updating text on mobile.

What we learned

Learned state management and refreshing text in Flutter, overall refinement of javascript skills, and how to create a web application via Electron.

What's next for Clipboard Drive-Thru
