Inspiration
Modern meetup apps are too focused on "dating", we wanted to create an app that helps students in the city make new friends on campus. The app gets rid of stalling when it comes to time and place to meet, we implemented a location tracking for each person so that when they match, they can try to meet up immediately.
What it does
Users can login to the app and fill out the criteria for the person they want to meet within a 1km radius, the app then tries to find a student that matches the criteria. Once found, the students are able to see eachother's locations and can easily meetup by looking at the pin points on the map.
How we built it
Built using Node.js backend with MongoDB on AWS server, our front-end utilizes javascript uses requests to communicate and gets location data.
Challenges we ran into
Working with AWS and the Google Maps Javascript API was very hard, Google Maps API was surprisingly hard to work with, the functionalities that they provide is very limited. AWS just had a lot of bugs that we had to work with during setup, once we got past it, working with it was more easier.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to get the core functionality of the program to work, sharing location data and seeing other users on the map.
