Inspiration
Since face to face interactions are now considered a risky action, it's time to bring interactions to the online world. We wanted a place where people with passionate ideals can join a room and argue those ideals. It's important to create an intellectual debate in order to convince others of a certain position. We wanted people in quarantine to have lively debates with people across the world as it's important to chat with others.
What it does
Users can create an account and login to access a lobby filled with different rooms. The rooms can have a variety of topics and users can choose to join any of these rooms. Once in a room, different users can begin to discuss their respective perspectives regarding a certain topic.
How I built it
React was used to design the front end.
Challenges I ran into
We started the weekend with 4 people on the team and it went down to two at the end. We were faced with more work than anticipated. We also encountered a huge learning curve that was required to learn how to connect firebase with react components.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Overall, the front end looks really good and the main function of each component works. Considering how half our team left in the middle, it's fortunate that our project got to where it is.
What's next for Argue.Me
We're looking to connect firebase with the front-end to make the application viable. We also seek to add a bunch of additional features including video-chat, password-protected rooms, and adding a judge and spectator feature.
