Challenges we ran into

• We started by creatng the chatbot. Unfortunately, we first built it using AIML and pandorabots but couldn't access the free tier and so switched to dialogflow.
• Dialogflow often gave unpredictable results, the accuracy threshold for choosing the right intent was a little challenging to find. Especially when we might be dealing with a person who may have a sensitive state of mind.
• We were willing to use jekyll for a blogging portal, forum but unfortunately it didn't work as expected with the pre-existing html pages.
• Using svg images in the meditation clock , made the process of alignment and understanding harder. We were trying to put the buttons in the centre but it was more aesthetic and easy to add at the top.
