Inspiration:

HuskyFetch was inspired by our own boredom and struggles with meeting new people on campus. We wanted to challenge ourselves and others by pushing them beyond their boundaries and try something new!

What it does:

With a click of a button, HuskyFetch will fetch you all the latest events, classes, and activities happening all around campus!.

How we built it:

We used Javascript and HTML to build the website, while the back-end services uses Python to search for events. Frameworks we used includes JQuery, Flash, Discord Interations, PyYaml, Number Parser, Waitress, Selenium, iCalendar, APScheduler, and Levenshtein.

Challenges we ran into:

The most time consuming problem we ran into was trying to Webscrap the correct information onto our database. Otherwise, understanding how to fetch the database from the server and correctly formatting it was also quite difficult.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we were able to finish the website.

What we learned:

For most of us, everything we did for HuskyFetch was foreign to us until this weekend. We are happy that we decided on this idea as we learned many basic and fundamental skills such as JS interactions, HTML and CSS, and webpage content extraction.

What's next for HuskyFetch:

We plan to add a filter option depending on the type of the event, along with an auto time filtering system to display events further in the future when there are no upcoming events.
