BetterBriefs is a website for programmers who want to improve their programming skills without thinking about a project idea and concept. The main goal for the user is to build a website with the given criteria and needs of the persona. The user will get a random generated brief including the idea, persona, colors, fonts and a wireframe. The user should be able to start programming after reading the generated proposal without thinking about a concept. The main part is to get a realistic random generated brief, which is easy to understand. Features like “add to favorites”, “print PDF” etc. are also available.

The learning experience here was to work with React and Firebase and use the Material UI and helmet packages and start working with some automated testing.

The Problem

The existing online brief/idea generators like goodbiref.io concentrate soly on short briefs which include a project idea but not a complete concept which is needed to start building a website. Programmers who want to practice and improve their skills in programming have to think about a concept (layout, colors, fonts, …) on their own before they can start with the implementation. The existing online generator tools are focused too much on ideation phase instead of the coding one.

Screenshots

Sadly the current screenshots are cropped a bit on the sides. I will try to run the project locally again and will take new screenshots again.
