  • React, Figma, Express JS, MongoDB, Node.js, html, css, js, leaflet js + maptiler, leaflet, maptiler. ## Challenges we ran into We faced some difficulties with storing images on the backend express server and communicating across users and litter instances. ## Accomplishments that we're proud of We are proud of our dynamic Gomi art and design, along with our use of multiple APIs integrating together to form the full user flow. ## What we learned This was Francis, Shreyas, and Caitlin's first hackathon, and so they learned about quickly conceptualizing and flushing out a project under a strict time limit. Teja and Aaron both worked in the backend, which they did not have much previous experience with. ## What's next for GomiGotchi
  • AR functions like AR games
  • Gomi-Gotchi being animated/3D model
  • Community Collaborative Events (as raid bosses)
  • Daily quotas to take pictures of litter
  • Introducing a gacha system to encourage users to donate money
