Inspire Tech Life

What I built

A prototype for Inspired Tech Life, which is a community for developers, designers, data scientists, and beyond. ITF's purpose is to help those in the tech world find help and support through groups, videos, mantras, and find support resources.

Description

This is the start of a community app. The authentication works, but it has not been built out to the groups, so everything is in the prototype/development stage. The about section lists all the future plans.

Background

(What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)

While working as an instructional associate General Assembly, I found myself helping to inspire other students (designers, developers, and data scientists) that went beyond just the technical aspect. I feel there is a need for inspirational creative, and encouragement during life, especially when imposter syndrome, depression, doubt, and lack of focus can run amuck in this climate.

How I built it

(How did you utilize DigitalOcean’s App Platform? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)

This is my first Laravel project and usage of the database feature on Digital Ocean. I picked up an understanding of how to do authentication.

I hope to continue to work on this.
