Inspiration

We were inspired to create a blog for U of A students focused on finding the perfect residence and discuss essential topics related to it. We wanted to create a resource where students could find information on all the different options and tips for making the most of their time living on campus. This blog can help make the process of finding a home away from home a little easier for U of A students.

What it does

Fasterin is a blog platform, interactive, transparent, and extremely easy to use.

How we built it

We built it using technologies such as Sanity, React.js, Next.js, Git, JavaScript, and TypeScript.

Challenges we ran into

We had very different range of skillsets, but still, we managed to learn from each other and focus on work that best suited us.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the fact that only two of us knew how to use React

What we learned

We learned that not only technical individual skills matter in a team but know how the workflow in Git, as a team, works, so we can take be efficient in our work and collaboration. Also, there were certain topics and tools we obviously did not know how to use, however, being extremely focused in the hackathon allowed us to get used to them pretty quickly (e.g. Sanity)

What's next for fasterin

We are planning to substitute most functionality of Sanity with GraphQL in a future
