Pokedek

Deployed with DigitalOcean at http://143.198.163.107/ Demo video at https://youtu.be/GMHNHDPGifc

Project Description

Our product allows users to create fun Pokemon-inspired trading cards highlighting various salient traits about themselves such as thier superpowers, weaknessses, communication preferences and more. Each team will start with a "dek" of cards and team members will create profile cards to add to the deck. We envision that team members would be able to learn more about each other by looking at profiles in the "dek", and in turn build a strong foundation for future teamwork to grow on.

Product Vision Statement

For the everyday student or worker, who needs help connecting with their team members and coworkers, Pokedek is a mobile/web application that simplifies and streamlines relationship building through personalized cards that showcase interests and individuality.

Project History

This project was inspired by the intern project our team member Janet Huang did during her internship at Asana. Pokedek was proposed in early October of 2021, and aims to help individuals connect with groups and teams in a fun, and streamlined manner.

To date, the Pokedek team has completed a wireframe and clickable prototype for the application.

Building and Testing

To start the application,

• In /back-end directory, run npm install then node server.js
• In /front-end directory, run npm install then npm start
• Open up http://localhost:3000/!

To run tests,

• In /back-end directory, run npm test – this doesn't seem to work on some machines, so an alternative is npx mocha test/routes.js

Link to Application

This is to be determined at a later date.
