Our website is a week-based life chronicling application that allows users to keep track of life events in a visually appealing and simple format. The user's life of ~100 years is represented week by week per year in a grid of ~5200 boxes. Each week is clickable, allowing users to add or edit events that happened during the week.
The main purpose of the site is to assist in life chronicling, providing the users with a simple, yet effective visual interface for monitoring life events. It can be used for self-improvement, tracking progress, such as towards a degree or losing weight, or sharing important life events with others.

Originally, socket.io was designed to send push notifications to users who have life events on the same week.
Instead, these push notifications are visible to everyone on the site.
The site is broken into two parts, the api, which is a restful service dedicated to user authentication and data manipulation, and the app, which is the front end the user interacts with.
When a user interacts with the front end, a request is made to the restful back end, which in turn validates the user's request, and makes a request to a Mongodb database hosted on Azure. The data is then passed back to the api, which in turn, passes it to the app to present it to the user.
Additionally, the api and front end interface with each other using socket.io. When a user enters an event on the site, all other users on the site get a notification that the event has been added.
Vue / Veutify / Vuex were chosen for our framework due to team familiarity with the framework.
Mongodb was selected for NoSQL storage for easy storage and retrieval of json objects, including life events and user information.
