Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest challenges that we ran into was that this idea has a lot of its base in the field of APIs. Having almost no knowledge about APIs I had to study a bit about APIs so as to get a clear idea about the potential ways in which our project would grow in future. Although we could not develop the back-end of the project in the short span of 24hours, I believe that our research on the topic of APIs helped us better understand the framework on the basis of which we wanted to develop our website.

We also often faced the difficulty of executing the ideas on the front end part but with constant effort and dedication we were able to execute a major portion of the idea.
