Introduction

This is a project created for UBC Biztech's ProduHacks 2024

Inspiration

Drawing inspiration from our team's diverse interests and experiences with social platforms, we embarked on a mission to redefine authenticity in social media while infusing our distinct passions into the mix. One of us delves into obscure subreddits, uncovering hidden communities; another finds passion in documenting real-life moments with friends, meanwhile, one member embraces a social media detox, seeking a refuge from the noise and distractions.

With these disparate yet compelling influences in mind, we pondered: How can we craft a social app that embodies authenticity with our own unique flair? This question became the cornerstone of our brainstorming sessions, fueling our creativity and innovation.

Instead of replicating existing platforms, we aimed to carve out our niche, offering users an experience resonating with our collective values and interests. Our vision was not just about fostering connections, but about fostering meaningful connections grounded in authenticity, shared passions, and the best memes.

Thus, our social app was born—a platform that celebrates the eclectic beauty of niche communities, encourages genuine interactions, and empowers users to curate their digital spaces in alignment with their true selves.

What it does

Clik is a social media app centered around fun and locally curated prompts to inspire and engage the creators of our community every week - showing users what’s trending and relevant in their city and fostering a sense of belonging like never before.

✅ Interactive Design
✅ Ranking posts
✅ Engage user with new prompts every week

How we built it

We built it using React, TailwindCSS for the front-end and Firebase for the back-end.

What we learned

Throughout the project, our teams learned to work together and improve time management skills. We continuously planned and enhanced the design to achieve an MVP by the end of the hackathon.

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest challenges in this hackathon was delivering a Minimum Viable Product within 24 hours. By selecting the right tech stack, refining our planning, and managing our team effectively, we successively conquered this hurdle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
