Collabs
Collabs is a platform integrates essential aspects of Facebook, LinkedIn, and Devpost all in one, creating a place where creators and innovators alike can simultaneously connect each other, expand their outreach, collaborate on innovative projects, and have the same functionality of posting, blogging, etc as compared to modern-day social media.
About Us
Our team didn't know each other, but ultimately were able to bond and work together through a firm, unified idea of extending our skills to provide for online innovators! Although we have different interests and experience in a multitude of skill sets, we all wanted to create a project that truly helps our communities.
Inspiration
We ultimately decided to create and innovate Collabs for the sole purpose of addressing the dire situation of connecting to like-minded peers in today's society. Although there are major platforms with much more resources as our simple 4-person team, we ultimately believe that we can make a change to the way our digital landscape is formed, through connection and project collaborating features!
What It Does Collabs is an innovative platform for creators, developers, and startups. It makes connecting and collaborating to other like-minded thinkers and innovators easier and efficient. In addition to this, it has the ability to connect and update user info, profile, and even post/blog styling similar to Facebook, Linkedin, etc. Collabs also has the ability to showcase your projects, collaborate with others on projects, and much more!
How We Built It Using full-stack development, Firebase, and flask, we were able to build Collab from the bottom-up. Using various languages, HTML, CSS, and features such as firebase, we were able to customize and build Collabs to solve the dire need to connect while collaborating, all of which are solved simultaneously through Collabs.
Challenges We Ran Into We ran into the challenge of working to use firebase, and also collaborating in general, but we ultimately overcame this barrier due to our unified goal of addressing a similar issue that we felt, affected all of us. Also, We ran into problems while integrating the backend with firebase and had to submit only the frontend.
Accomplishments That We're Proud Of We're proud of finishing a complex project in such a short amount of time and hopefully making an impact on the technological/innovative community.
What We Learned We learned that it was only a unified goal, that would ultimately be our incentive in working towards such a feat as Collabs.
What's Next For Collabs We will definitely work to extend our reach of Collabs, and reach to support large businesses, startups, organizations, and nonprofits! However, we can only do this through the support of getting our name out onto bigger platforms. (One of which would be HackRice!)
