Inspiration
Sitting in McCabe last night, a few of our team members noticed the cluttered flyers tacked to the bulletin board above the McCabe printers. They were both paper/colored ink-intensive and more often than not, expired. To address this likely abuse of Beardsley’s Media Center and create a more efficient database for upcoming events, FlyerWall was thus born.
What it does
FlyerWall is an interactive and environmentally-friendly approach to traditional event advertising.
How we built it
We used our own algorithms to arrange our flyer templates with Node, HTML, CSS, and embedded Javascript.
Challenges we ran into
image processing
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Created a functional and user-friendly website within the allotted time.
What we learned
This was a very dense and fast-paced introduction to Computer Science for some of our team members who have had limited exposure. We also learned a lot about front-end design and integrating the individual work of our members.
What's next for Flyer Wall
We would like to work on developing a way for users to save events that they are interested in. Time constraints restricted us from creating a login function or an extension to embed these saved events into Google Calendar, for instance.
