bookworms

This project aims to provide an end-to-end experience in developing a web app that shares book summary with other people, its idea comes from an open source project idea (https://open-source-ideas.github.io/issue.html?issue=266) and simplified to meet the time constraint.

This team is on the advanced track of CodeDay Labs.

Makuza Mugabo Verite is a rising junior in high school and has experience with both front-end and back-end development prior to the program. This project gave him an opportunity to work with MongoDB and further familiarize himself with other usages of Go.

Aurora is a rising junior in college and a math major. She has little experience with front-end development prior to the program and was given the chance to further gain familiarity with it throughout CodeDay Labs. React.js was used for the front-end, which is a JavaScript library that she has not worked with before but has gained exposure along the way.

Some challenges include...
1. Dynamic searching and sorting on front-end and back-end
2. CORS issues during API integrations
3. The development of a reusable custom React hook
4. The learning of new technology while having to work with it
