Inspiration
Trying to search through images can be a hassle. Sometimes, you just want images of a particular type given key characteristics. This is why we created Search Square. Now, with a simple search query, pictures from the imgur database that are similar in nature to the keyword given will be displayed.
What it does
Scans images on imgur checking for whether or not they are similar to the search term entered. It then displays all of these pictures.
How we built it
We used the Clarifai API to tag images. Using javascript, we searched through the imgur database to find pictures that matched the tags with at least 90% accuracy or higher and displayed them.
Challenges we ran into
Time, tiredness, and technical difficulties. We had to switch ideas midway through, and implementing the API caused some problems.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to implement the Clarify API and learned how important it is to manage our time and have a good plan when approaching a software project.
What we learned
Sreevaishnav Deevi: I didn't know anything about javascript coming into this hackathon. I was able to learn some basic syntax, and understand how javascript, html, and css are all connected together.
Jeffrey Meyer: I am an experienced programmer; however, it was my first hackday. I learned how hackathons were run and understood that working constantly is the key to success and finishing the project.
Shanmukh Puttagunta: This was my first experience of how a hackathon is run. Although it was not a formal hackathon, I was introduced to atmosphere of a hackathon. I didn't know much so I acted as a designer and kept a checklist to keep us working constantly.
