Slice

A Developer Habit Tracker in VS Code.

Comment 1

Inspiration

The unorganised and untraced working hours of developer often makes them inefficient. Hence by making this Developer's tool we intend to increase productivity.

What it does

Tracks the coding time and code reading of the user and virtualises it, compares between time and code written to produce efficiency.

How we built it

We made a VSCode extension, linked it to a backend deployed on Heroku, and visualised the data sent from the extension via graphs in the frontend.

Challenges we ran into

  • Getting blocked by Twilio,
  • unable to use Socket.io on Netlify.
  • lack of resources for VSCode.
  • Setting up the chatroom.
  • Exploring MongoDB for data storage.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Track data efficiently and monitor the habit.
  • Build a secure server for data analysis.
  • learning how to do file management on the server.
  • Made a chatroom
  • A special 404 Page.

What we learned

  • Using integrations, deployment, factoring VSCode, using analytics, firebase, socket.io.

What's next for Slice

  • Add an ML model to suggest to the user about their coding habits.

We're using two frontend websites as:- 1) Free tier can add the domain to deployment in Netifly but can't use socket.io. 2) Can use socket.io in Heroku but can't add a domain name as it's a paid tier.

Heroku link has our whole deployed site.
