The problem Margo solves

Menstruation is one of the most important cycles of nature, not only for females but for the sustenance of the entire humanity.
Almost all females go through excruciating pain when they have period cramps. Team Celestial Biscuit, comprising of all females understood and personally felt the need of having a portal which aids in uplifting the mood of females, connecting them to their loved ones and seek help online, shop online for best menstrual hygiene products and keep a track of their menstrual cycle.

Why? Because ‘she’ deserves everything.

Challenges we ran into

• In the given time constraint, the development of the complete product posed a major challenge for us. But it allowed us to understand the essence of Time Management and Organised Working. The deployment of APIs for the articles on Heroku presented a lot of issues. However, thanks to online communities, StackOverflow, we were able to find resources that helped us in successfully deploying the APIs.
• Integration of API to the web page was also a challenge for us but eventually, we were able to conquer the challenge.
• All these challenges were less of challenges and more of lessons, lessons to help us have an even better development process in the future so that we can incorporate the customers' requests and requirements easily and efficiently.
