GenNet

Homepage

Inspiration

We were inspired by the movie Coco to learn more about our ancestry.

What it does

It allows you to connect with other members of your family through family trees.

How we built it

We built it using MongoDB, React Native, Django and Flask.

Challenges we ran into

We had a very hard time coordinating work online.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The end product is much closer to the desired result than we had imagined at the start. As well as that, a lot of the work we did on the project was in a language or framework we had never touched before.

What we learned

We learned teamwork, and every member of our team learnt a new framework to hone the workflows they use (such as the MERN stack).

What's next for GenNet

We plan on developing this into a fully-fledged application in the future.

I worked on building out the frontend for the app and integrating it with the backend. I'm very proud of what I accomplished given that this was my first time working with React.

I mainly worked on the backend, which was written in Flask. I'm proud of what I did because it was my first time working with both Twilio and MongoDB.
