This is an application developed by Shrey Sahni, Yuansi Jiang, Elton Neman, and Jack Carroll.
The issue we are trying to resolve is the lack of a centralized platform for all of Northeastern's amazing student organizations to share all of their events and programs on. HuskyPulse is meant as a one stop shop for both students and clubs to be able to interact and exchange information, to run all of these groups as effciently as possible. We have implemented a lightweight frontend using python and streamlit, as well as a REST API using flask connecting the frontend to a MySQL database. The program is run entirely within docker containers. While this is not a complete piece of software, the foundation we have built encapsulates many of the essential capabilities for this platform, and hopefully one day HuskyPulse will benifit many Northeastern students.
Our app is structured around 4 different user personas, a club leader, a student, a system administrator, and an analyst.
