Activity

Finished the landing page. I also changed it so that the landing page and the home page is different. And it is fully responsive now. Next steps is to add more features to it below as a showcase.

Update attachment

Added due dates to the reminders app.

Update attachment

I finished the reminders page. Now you can update and complete reminders. Its also pefecctly responsive with just 2 media queries. They are ordered from latest to oldest.

Update attachment

I made the reminders database which basically allows the user to create, store, and view their reminders. Currently its unstyled. Next, i need to give users with doctor role permission to push reminders to patients they have enrolled. I also need to add a patient enrolling system for doctors.

Update attachment

I made a lot of progress today! I improved the landing page. And I improved the user dashboard, and made it so that you will be automatically redirected to the dashboard if logged in, otherwise to the landing page. Finally, I completed the symptom diagnoser, and styled it with css, java script... and its looking really nice now.

Created the AI powered symptom diagnoser

Update attachment

I created the dashboard view for patients using my sister as a test account.

Update attachment

I further improved the landing page of my website (for now) and am going to move onto the dashboard now.

Update attachment

I improved the landing page of my website. I also added all the authentication pages, however in kind of a cheaty way I guess. I just copied the authentication pages I made myself in a previous project - but hey, thats the beauty of django and making plug and play apps right! Everything works seamlessly now and its coming along really well.

Update attachment

I have got to work on the landing page of health hub. I want it to have a bright light theme to be welcoming for patients and doctors alike.

Created readme!

Update attachment

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!

Update attachment

I finished making the landing page of my website responsive.

Update attachment

Fully finished the landing page of my website

Update attachment

Improved the landing page.

Update attachment

I maded an accounts page where the user can take control of their account and change email, username and password or delete account.

Update attachment

I completed the evaluation page styling and added a SWOT analysis tool.

Update attachment

I styled the add startup page to make it look like the authentication pages.

Update attachment

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.

Update attachment

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.

Update attachment

Fixed issue 500 if no text in image

Update attachment

I further improved the dashboard view by adding better hover effects and adding a add startup widget.

Update attachment

Improved the dashboard view.

Update attachment

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.

Update attachment

Added default django user registration app. My next step is customizing it to make it look proffessional.

Lumen

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.

Shipped project and fixed all issues. Notably - Made upload page more intuituve, you have to upload a file to continue

Update attachment

I significantly improved the accuracy of my website. Firstly, the website is MUCH BETTER at converting handwriting since switching models, and runs of the clou, allowing it to be locally, much smaller (and much easier for me to deploy). It also has SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED TEXT DETECTION, HANDWRITING DETECTION... Really seems like a finsihed product now.

Update attachment

Finished making the site responsive with media queries for all (or mostly all) devices.

Update attachment

Added a new minty blue background and got the pdf output page finalized.

Update attachment

Website is finished! Now Im just scaling it for mobile and adding finishing touches (well - buttons)!

Update attachment

Made the website display a PDF after a doc has been scanned.

Update attachment

I added a landing page with some usefull links and moving text.

Just added a landing page. I want to make it really cool with animations and stuff. Also added animation to the upload page.

Update attachment

The website at this point is basically finished.
The bugs I stomped on included:
Got dropzone working fully working.
Included a max file upload limit of 1 file
Restricted the file types to only JPEGs, and PNGs, and JPGs
Checked to see if scales properly on iphones.

The last step is adding a download PDF button for the converted file, and making the converted file show up a bit nicer.

Added uniformity to all text fonts. Next steps - Integrate hamburger menu with options like suggestions, collarborate on github...
also need to make max file uploads 1.
and still working on accepted file types

Update attachment

I fixed the issue of files not being able to be uploaded again if the page was reloaded.

Update attachment

Completely overhauled the aesthetic of a website to match the summer of making theme!. Also identified the following bugs:
1. clicking convert button when no files uploaded causes website to crash.
2. Any file format can be uploaded. Not just jpeg or png.
3. More than 1 file can be uploaded. Max files allowed should be 1.
Almost done. After these bugs are resolved, the website should be good for shipping.

Update attachment

Added dropzone for dragging and dropping files. I troubleshooted the issue of dropzone not uploading files to be proccesed by the OCR. Tried making the website look better, however its still a work in progress. My next steps will be improving the aesthetic of a website.

Working on making the website more visually appealing.

Update attachment

Managed to display the converted text onto the main display page. Still working on making the website more visually appealing though and making the output text more presentable and downloadable.

Update attachment

Finally! I was able to!
1. Got the Flask website working.
2. Delete files after processing so they dont hog storage space.
3. Open the converted text in a new page.

Next steps is to beautify the site, make the converted text appear as a file, that is displayed on the website and can be downloaded.

Switched to using flask instead of bottle. Improving text recognition

Update attachment

Created a lightweight Bottle webpage that is currently only running of my Mac. Significantly improved file selector with HTML, instead of relying on TKinter. Now working on returning the selected file to python program to analyze.

Update attachment

I added a TKinter GUI to select an image file to extract text from rather than having to enter a file directory to access the image. Makes it much faster and more efficient for the end user. Next step is getting a simple website running.

Update attachment

Basic setup. Convert a local image file on my computer to text displayed in the output window.

Document and Handwriting Digitizer

A simple, clean and intuitive full-stack scanner to convert your handwriting, documents, receipts and more to PDFs, so you can download and edit them in apps like MS Word or Google Docs! It is built with Flask and utilizes Googles Cloud Vision machine learning API. It aims to replace the clunky scanners that exist on the internet with a more modern, well designed experience... Without needing you to make an account :D
