Inspiration

What it does

How we built it

We build 2 web scraper to get character list from Walking dead show and FRIENDS show We build a RESTful API with IBM Loopback and connect to our character list storaged on a MySQL database We build web interface for user to input their preference of every character of a show We buy a smart backend to save users' preferences and show them to other users

Challenges we ran into

Find the complete character list mannually, we solved it by build web scrapper Build Drap and Drap function in React, we then move to Vanilla JS

Accomplishments that we're proud of
