Buddies

DESCRIPTION

A web app that helps students find study groups based on their courses. Students can either initiate a group or seek to join a study session.

We did not simplify the idea enough
We spent too much time developing ideas that were too complicated for a simple program made in 12 hours
We are unfamiliar with most of the programs that were introduced to us in this hackathon

Web development: we built a functional (but unfinished) program even though we have never done web development before
We struggled during the Figma workshop but we managed to design a complete prototype
We learned 4 new languages! (python, javascript, html, css)
We learn how to organize a project and not to sidetrack from our main goal

We should have planned the program better and more simplified
It was very tiring, and unnecessary at times, for us to attend all workshops, because we have already known some of the concepts. Due to this, we could not focus on the last two workshops that were very relevant to our project today. Next time, we could evaluate the workshops better and only attend necessary ones to maximize our comprehension capability.

Actually implement the complete project according to the prototype
Implement more authentication
Add some more user stories:
As a user, I want to be able to create my account only after I verify with school email
As a user, I want to see other people’s profiles
As a poster, I want to send invitations to other classmates
As a poster, I want to receive notifications when a new seeker requests to join my group
As a poster, I want to be able to delete my study groups
As a poster, I want to remove a member from my study group
As a poster, I want to choose whether to accept a request to join my group or not
As a seeker, I want to be notified when my study group changes its information
As a seeker, I want to view a list of study groups filtered by courses
