Trend Finder

Inspiration:

• Inspired by Yelp

What it does:

• In the purpose of building a better community, Trend Finder identifies trendy and hot venues in any city around the world, serving not only as a tool for tourists, but also allowing residents to rediscover and explore their current communities.

How we built it:

• Utilized Node.js and Express.js frameworks

Challenges we ran into:

• Connecting front-end to back-end
• Tying together the Foursquare and Google Map APIs to make comprehensive visuals

Accomplishments that we're proud of:

• Created a nice UI and utilized both Foursquare and Google Maps APIs.
• It was a great team effort and we're proud of each of our members!

What we learned:

• We learned how to create a functional web application

What's next for Trend Finder:

• For the future, we hope to implement an "Event" API that allows users to view/upload public events happening around selected cities, which would further foster a more inclusive environment for everyone in the community.
• Come and find out!
