The problem STUDYBUDS solves

platform that facilitates virtual study sessions, connecting students globally for collaborative learning experiences

Challenges we ran into

1. Integration of Third-Party APIs: One major challenge was integrating multiple third-party APIs into our project. Each API had its own documentation, authentication method, and rate limits, which made the integration process complex. We had to carefully study the documentation, handle authentication tokens securely, and implement error handling to ensure smooth integration.

2. Cross-Browser Compatibility: Ensuring cross-browser compatibility was another challenge we faced. Our project needed to work seamlessly across various web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We encountered CSS and JavaScript inconsistencies that caused layout issues and functionality discrepancies across different browsers. To overcome this, we extensively tested our project on different browsers and used CSS prefixes and polyfills to address compatibility issues.
