Inspiration

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an immense amount of change to our daily lives.

What it does

Extracting the quality index of the links shared (Take that as quality metrics which determines the safety & health of the link)

How we built it

For building the extension interface, we've used HTML, CSS & JavaScript. We've used IPFS (Inter-Planetary File System) to deploy the media first and then share it into logbox.

Challenges we ran into 😤

Sleep is very important! Jokes apart, tbh a lot of things, both summed up in technical & non-technical sides. For the technical part, we did face some serious issues while we're finetuning the hyperparameters.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

With our team hacking from all around the world, we faced an initial challenge of working with varying time zones which made it difficult to find common meeting times. Despite it, we were able to make compromises and still delegate tasks that we could do during our respective times on the weekend. Working with new technologies and learning the ropes on how to make a Chrome extension was also initially a challenge but with teamwork, we were able to implement and complete our project.

What we learned

A lot of things, both summed up in technical & non-technical sides. For the technical part, we faced a lot of serious issues in form of errors as we were integrating modules. Not to mention, Stackoverflow was the gem for us while we're troubleshooting some complicated issues late-night.
