What problem does BuddyUp solve?

  • Have you ever struggled with finding a teammate in a Hackathon?
  • Even if you did find a teammate, did he/she/they meet your requirements?
  • Has a teammate ever left your team in the middle of a hack?
  • Timezone clashes?

BuddyUp is here to resolve all of this and more.

What is BuddyUp?

BuddyUp is an iOS app made for finding your potential teammates so you don’t end up working solo like me xD

  • MVC architectural design pattern.
  • Programmatically-made(No storyboards)
  • Uses Firebase as a BasS

Challenges we ran into

Since this is my very first iOS project and I only had 24 hours to complete it, there were a number of challenges I ran into:

  • Designing the app(Figma) and then finalising it
  • Implementing TabBar programmatically
  • Setting up Firebase Auth and Database
  • Implementing the logic for authentication and database
  • Making the presentation and video(along with writing code)

What's next for BuddyUp

  • Completing ProjectDetails View
  • Completing the chat functionality
  • Completing the profile view
  • Adding a bookmark tab to save projects for later
  • Audio and Video Calling
  • Setting up your hack timeline inside the app
  • Hack Reminders: Event, Mid-point Submission, Final Deadline, etc.
  • Launch it on App Store
