F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Inspiration

When I travelled to my hometown , I was quarantined for 14 days. Those 14 days were some of the most lonely days I ever felt. No human interaction. Although I could talk to my friends and family , they don't really understand the situation I am in. The best person who could understand what I was feeling was someone who was going through the same.

What it does

We aim to entertain people who are in quarantine and looking for someone to talk to. F.R.I.E.N.D.S has multiple chat rooms , even for your city , so that you can share thoughts with people having same taste , background and ethnicity. You can even create custom room for your city/society. Be friends with people who are going through exactly what you are and win this Covid.

How I built it

We took the inspiration from old-school chatroom. We used flutter to create cross-platform app so that we cover all the masses.For the login and signup we used google authentication to authenticate each and every user. To store the messages we used real-time database of Firebase offered by Google because of its speed , reliability and secure encryption.

Challenges I ran into

The main challenge we faced was how to Integrate it to Firebase as this was the first time we were using cloud database. But kudos to Sarita for solving the problem.
