The problem Ikshana solves

Our project Ikshana is a small step towards creating an environment where gender diversity is not only about tokenism of some kind but in its true sense uplifting to the concerned. Spreading awareness about the diverse gender spectrum is a challenge for a developing country like India trying to break-free of its norms. It is important to support women and the non-binary community through their journey in overcoming the obstacles put forward by the society. There is a need to support them with reskilling, upskilling and counselling to help them stay on track of their life goals.
We have tried to provide a one-stop platform for the non-male population around us who are continuously under the pressure of living upto certain standards to be respected in the society, they often forget to look after their own well being.
Our vision is to make a safe, and cosy place to learn, explore and heal themselves.

Challenges we ran into

Challenges we ran into:

• Both of us teammates being new to coding, and this being our very first hackathon, we were skeptical about how this is going to go about, hence time management, keeping up with deadlines etc was the biggest challenge from our perspective.
• this was our first time working with firebase, and watching so many tutorials in such a short span of time to get our authentication and other features up and running was a challenging task for us
• understanding pregnancy and menstrual cycles, integrating the spotify API for mood-based playlists was a first for us
