Contribution to PBL Project, Design ideas, and Code Plan

Login System and Sign Up

• We already have the HTML for a sign up page, with a button on the navbar to redirect
• Have to work on the backend for adding user information to a database
• Try to implement encryption so we can't see the user password
• This will allow each user to customize the website for their college applications process

Global Search Bar

• Adding a search bar on the navbar that searches all of the website's contents
• Elastisearch integration: https://reflectoring.io/hibernate-search/
• Start with searching on keyword, later by term
• This will allow users to search different pages, such as the admissions FAQ, their deadlines, their college info, etc.

Spotify API for Calming Music

• Integrating the API on our homepage
• Will provide relaxing music to help with college applications
• Using Rapid API to retrieve data of Nature Sounds
• Need to work on frontend to display the songs we receive and embed them to make them playable on the website

College Database

• Already have working database with CRUD functionality
• Can add on by connecting the database to other aspects:

• Updating images to the slideshow as colleges are added/removed
• Using a College API to fetch the different deadline dates for a user's colleges in the database and populating the calendar using this info

• These additions will make the website more integrated, as important action items specific to the user will be displayed on the frontpage
