How we built it
We built it using web development technologies like HTML, CSS, JS, and py-script.
Challenges we ran into
Since we are all rookies in python so using py-script was a challenge. The documentations and support for py-script is very poor right now so finding how to implement a particular feature was a tiresome task. Since this was a weekend hack we did not have enough time to explore the tools we used and could have designed the UI of the hack better.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
In order to fulfil the requirements of this hackathon we picked up a new language we were not comfortable in, Python. We were able to use py-script and python in general. Made a working model ready to use and boost productivity of many.
What we learned
Implementing py-script and Python Team-work , distributing tasks among ourselves
What's next for STUDY ZONE
Implementing a robust backend and adding more functionality according to user feedback. keep it updated with incoming new technology.
