Inspiration

We were inspired to make a debate timer app because of our belief in debate as an educational extracurricular activity, which is made possible by the idea of fairness and a level playing field which a dependable synced timer helps accomplish.

What it does

Syncs a timer to keep track of how long each speaker in a debate round has to speak so that a judge can control and view how much time each person has more easily while having it easily accessible to the debater. Prevents going over time / fairness issues, while being preferable to the judge keeping time and the debater having to rely on hand signals.

How we built it

React-native frontend, express.js backend.

Challenges we ran into

Time. Ironically, half our team had a debate tournament on Saturday so a lot of development had to be done last minute.
