Inspiration

We have found that it is hard to make friends with people in your community beyond school so we decided to build an app to help people with this. We believe that this app is incredibly important for building a more connected community.

What it does

It allows users to make a profile and search for people in their community. People can then search within the app for other people and see their profiles. In their profiles they can see a picture, name, age, and clubs they are part of and a button to send a friend request. Users can also search for clubs to join that match their interest. They can click on a club tile to see a more detailed view and see a short description, picture, and members. In their own profile they can see their own friends and clubs as well.

How we built it

We built it using Flutter, an app development framework to build apps for both Android and iOS systems.

Challenges we ran into

One challenge that we ran into was populating the database and creating connected Person and Club objects and how they are connected. We also had difficulty in passing data through pages to create a more nested experience but were eventually successful.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of how we overcame our challenges and worked on the app to connect different classes.

What we learned

For more than half of our group it was the first app we built so it was really cool to learn how they are made.

What's next for Findr

We can improve Findr by adding more features such as group chats for clubs and personal chats within friends.
