Inspiration

As students it is pertinent, especially with many online courses, to remain focused. Likwise, most members in the group are new to hackathons, and all are new to web technologies. This was a great opportunity to learn and have an achievable, useful product.

What it does

We tried to build a productivity extension that lets the user add links to the websites they would want to block while trying to do something productive for a certain period of time. The user will have the option to enter the duration. If the user tries to access any of the websites in the block websites list, we display a warning message.

How we built it

We used JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to build the extension. HTML and CSS were primarily used to create popup windows and buttons. JavaScript was used to run the application on the web browser.

Challenges we ran into

We mostly faced technical challenges as we had little knowledge about chrome extension and web development tools like HTML, CSS, JavaScript.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning we did in such as small period of time and developing in technology we had little knowledge about. We ran into multiple errors/bugs but solving them was a lot of fun and learning in a collaborative environment.
