Build a minimal user interface using HTML, CSS and JS or any other framework

jasonappah commented 4 years ago

I can work on this. Just to be sure, this is intended to be run locally on a user's computer and not on a server, right?

bernandez commented 4 years ago

Can a framework like Django be used?

swaaz commented 4 years ago

Yes, @jasonappah you are right. But I planned to make it run on the server but I don't think we can use GitHub pages for that. Do you have any suggestions? Feel free to create your pull request to hacktoberfest branch not to master branch directly

If you want it to run on a server then we should definitely plan on using something like Flask or Django. I think Django will probably be easier though

swaaz commented 4 years ago

@jasonappah yea Django is also fine. But I feel flask would be easier and convenient.

jasonappah commented 4 years ago

Cool - I guess first steps should be breaking main.py up into separate functions and getting a basic API going. Also, since we're going to have to run a webserver anyway, wouldn't it be a good idea to use oauth to get user creds instead of storing them in plain text and do the emailing through Gmail's API?

And also please this my firs time attending Hacktoberfest and also working on Git so am kinda new to all this

swaaz commented 4 years ago

@jasonappah @bernandez you can divide work yourselves. Feel free to tag me in this issue anytime when you guys have doubt. Happy to see you working together.
