🚗 Carpooled - Carpooling. Made Easy.

Carpooled is an open-source app by which everyone can share their car journey so that more than one person travels in a car, and prevents the need for others to have to drive to a location themselves. By having more people using one vehicle, carpooling reduces each person's travel costs such as: fuel costs, tolls, and the stress of driving. It is a full stack application, users can register, login, make their own carpool, join other's carpool and many more! Carpooled is live and hosted with REPL - https://carpooled.guptasajal411.repl.co/

Inspiration

We all know that carpooling can save fuel and reduce greenhouse gas emmisions. But it is always difficult to find a buddy specially if you are short on time. So I thought about making an application where all carpools will be listed and users can browse them, join one or even create their own carpool!

Features

New users can register for Carpooled Allows users to login and logout Allows users to browse carpools created by others Users can make their own carpool Users can join other's carpool, check out the members Users can also leave the carpool Users can delete their own carpool if they have to
Minimal, glassmorphism UI

Technologies used

  • Frontend: Basic HTML, CSS & JavaScript. I also used Bootstrap for keeping the app simple and responsive.
  • Backend: Node.js & Express.js for creating new routes, handling GET and POST requests, and performing CRUD operations on databases.
  • Database: I have used MongoDB Atlas for remote database, and Mongoose for modelling the application data.
