Inspiration

What inspired our group was that we all love to play sports such as basketball and soccer and it can be hard to find people to play with. This is how we came up with the idea for DroPin because we wanted a solution for finding people to do different types of activities.

What it does

DroPin is an ios application that brings the community together by allowing it's users to see what types of activities are happening in their community. You are able to drop a pin on the map with your location and a description of what you are going to be doing such as playing pick up basketball or studying and the number of people they need for the activity. The app allows other users to commit to these events to allow the user who made the application to know how many people are going to come to their event.

How I built it

The app was built using Swift for the ios application and Java Servlets for the backend with MySql for the database.

Challenges I ran into

Some of the challenges we ran into were just our over-ambition and not being able to sleep in the 24 hours of the competition. One of our groupmates Jack Lambert had never programmed in Swift before and it was a great learning experience for him as well.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Some accomplishments that we are proud of is that we were able to finish everything that we had planned on finishing for the application. Another big accomplishment was just being able to develop an entire mobile application in 24 hours!
