Elevator 🛗

I knocked up a simple elevator control panel you can run locally as a website.

Problem → Solution → Impact

Problem: Real-time simulation and control of elevator logic through the browser is rarely intuitive.

Solution: This panel offers a live-reactive UI wired to backend logic that simulates elevator behavior.

Impact: A flexible demo platform for teaching, prototyping, or gamifying state-driven UI systems.

Rationale

A fun test of my, at the time, primitive React skillset.

It uses React on the front end with simple HTML buttons that highlight floors/direction etc in colour and Django on the backend. It supports multiple floor ranges for different lifts and can optimise for the quickest lift based on a request for a floor number.
