The problem Felix solves

Felix addresses several key problems faced by technical organizations, educational institutions, and remote teams:

1. Inefficient Collaborative Coding: Existing collaborative coding platforms often lack real-time synchronization, making it difficult for teams to work together effectively. Felix solves this by providing a seamless and intuitive experience with features like real-time code editing, commenting, and conflict resolution.

2. Lack of Exam Integrity: Traditional online exams are vulnerable to cheating and fraud. Felix addresses this by implementing a robust facial ID authentication system, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access and participate in exams. This helps maintain the fairness and credibility of assessments.

3. Limited Communication and Collaboration Tools: Many platforms for online collaboration lack comprehensive features for communication and collaboration. Felix provides a suite of tools, including chat, video conferencing, and a collaborative whiteboard, to facilitate effective teamwork and knowledge sharing.

4. Difficulty in Proctored Exams: Conducting proctored exams remotely can be challenging due to the need for supervision and monitoring. Felix offers a solution by integrating features like remote proctoring, video surveillance, and facial ID checks, ensuring that exams are conducted fairly and securely.

5. Complex and Inefficient Workflow: Managing coding projects and exams can be cumbersome and time-consuming. Felix streamlines workflows by providing an integrated platform with features like code management, exam creation, and result tracking. This helps teams save time and improve efficiencyFelix

Challenges we ran into

Technical Challenges that we faced while creating Felix

1. Real-time Collaboration: Ensuring smooth and lag-free collaboration, especially with large codebases and multiple users, can be challenging.
2. Scalability: The platform needs to handle a growing number of users and concurrent sessions without compromising performance.
3. Security: Protecting user data, preventing unauthorized access, and ensuring the integrity of exams requires robust security measures.
4. Compatibility: Ensuring compatibility across different devices, operating systems, and browsers can be time-consuming.
5. Facial Recognition Accuracy: Achieving high accuracy in facial recognition, especially in varying lighting conditions and with different camera qualities, can be difficult.
