Lumen Used AI
A website that quietly compares startup ideas to others in the market, generating swot analysis and identifying the pros and cons of your idea. It is a full stack app made with django. In this project, EVERYTHING is functional. The widgets, the functionality, the data collected and it is a real tool that can be used by actual startup companies, and this serves an underserved niche.
It uses concepts like object oriented programming for the ORM, and encourages as django says "clean and pragmatic design" DRY, modular code, user authentication, API calls and more.
Data (evaluation content) is stored in a postgre sql database so only the first evaluation takes a while and then its instant. User password, email and user, are also stored there but encrypted with a secure hash so nobody (not even me as an admin) except the user can access their account details.
If you are testing the website, please DO NOT generate more than 2 evaluations because the API service gets too expensive otherwise.
AI was used ONLY for debugging problems I couldnt solve myself or find online, and to generate certain images.

Timeline
I made ALL pages responsive which honestly was so boring and tedious but finally Im done and I can get back to the fun stuff - and soon - deploy!
I maded an accounts page where the user can take control of their account and change email, username and password or delete account.
I improved the dashboard view by allowing the user to sscroll if the description is too long and I added tags relevant to the topic of the startup. I also improved th way the trends appera now logically arranged.
Im working on generating the evaluations for created startup ideas now! So far, Ive managed to create an overall summary of the pros, cons, and viability of the startup idea with gemini. Now, I managed to collect REAL WORLD DATA, from google trends, and implement it into the website in easy language for a human to read. However it is currently not styled. That will be my next step. In the screenshot, the trend data is in red to differentiate it from the overall review.
I further improved the dashboard view by adding better hover effects and adding a add startup widget.
Big update. I created the database for the users startup concepts, description... It only shows for the user logged in, otherwise throws an error. I also made simple, unstyled html forms for the user to input details about their startup. While this may not seem like a big deal, its important because it means that the 'meat' of a website is complete, Its now just building more onto the database and styling the website and random bugs that may pop up.
I finished the django sign-in page, signout page, and registration page. I also made it so that if you are on the home screen, the options you have change. Ie, if you are logged in, you can only log out, or if you arent logged in, you can either log in or register an account. This is the most progress ive made in such a long time. Finally, I can start working on the dashboard.
Ive finished setting up the Django registration page and it works perfectly now. I also customised it to match the aesthetic of my website.
I changed the concept of my app from a price tracker to a startup validator. I felt that a price tracker app was to common, and decided to make something more niche so I made the switch before I got to stuck in. New app is called Lumen.
Added default django user registration app. My next step is customizing it to make it look proffessional.
