Taskfeed

This project was submitted for the 2023 Dubhacks competition at the UW. I completed this project within a team of 4, which consisted of two developers and two designers. For this event, we brainstormed, designed, and implemented an application in a 24 hour timespan.

Our project was a social media app centered around tasks, which would allow friends to keep each other accountable for their obligations. We believed this was an innovative solution because it would help to bring people together while making sure people don't forget to do important tasks throughout the day.

Our project stack consists of a React.js frontend and a rudimentary database using Google Sheets. We make direct calls to the Google Sheets API in order to read and update task data, so no backend is required. To deploy the website, we used GitHub pages because it can simply be served as a static frontend web app.

At the time of deployment, our application was a simple demo that only worked client-side. In the future, we envisioned integrating our app with academic platforms to allow for automatic homework assignment connections. In this way, we could add a feature to distinguish different tasks, such as homework and chores. Another integration we envisioned was with social media apps.
