Challenges we ran into

Challenges We Ran Into:

1. Challenge: Initially, we opted for Python and Django for authentication, but we encountered limitations.
   Solution: We transitioned to Firebase for authentication, offering a more seamless and robust solution.

2. Challenge: Integrating Google Maps API key for location marking posed difficulties.
   Solution: We pivoted to a customized Google Map embedded directly onto our website, ensuring accurate and accessible location marking.

3. Challenge: Initially, we assumed a single database could serve multiple chat rooms, but this led to uniform chats across all rooms.
   Solution: We restructured our approach by creating distinct projects under Firebase's real-time database for each chat room, ensuring tailored experiences.

4. Challenge: Storing data for the Period Tracker proved challenging, with issues encountered in database storage.
   Solution: We innovated by exploring alternative methods to temporarily store the data, ensuring continuity in functionality.

5. Challenge: User authentication data wasn't persisting during signup, while user details were successfully stored in the database.
   Solution: Identifying the issue, we discovered that a security setting (False) was hindering database interaction, which we promptly adjusted to True, resolving the issue effectively.

Through perseverance and adaptive problem-solving, we overcame these challenges, ensuring the smooth functioning and user experience of our platform.
