Inspiration

We wanted to keep in contact more often with our friends and family without in-person contact. Some research shows that it is better to keep in contact more frequently rather than have long conversations infrequently.

What it does

It is a chatting app that is less strict on what information can be pulled, so we can pull message statistics (eg. conversation length, number of conversations) and convert it to statistics.

How we built it

Django backend, javascript, css, html frontend.

Challenges we ran into

Finding an API which allows messaging information to be pulled. Using websockets with no previous experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The chatting feature works in real time.

What we learned

How to use websockets, how to make a real time chatting feature.

What's next for Connect More

Implementing the statistical portion of the app, which will update users. Make sure messages are still private, but will give information such as the number of messages
