The Front Page - Selecting the event logistics
Comparing your available time with a heatmap of other people

Inspiration

We got inspiration from the site viewable at https://www.when2meet.com/. We wanted to overhaul this site with a modern aesthetic.

What it does

Our program asks for the possible days for the meeting, as well as the absolute earliest and latest someone can have a meeting on these days. Then, the user is prompted with an interactive timetable, generated to have times and days selected prior. The user can view their selection and compare it to a heatmap on the right.

How we built it

We built it with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.

Challenges we ran into

We were having problems connecting the frontend (the website itself and it's logistics) to the backend (database storing all the events, times, etc.)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We made a site that looks pleasing, and is interactive and responsive to any user input. The input is sanitized, and overall the design of the website is very friendly and welcoming. This was our original goal - to recreate and improve an existing idea.
