Food Chat

Inspiration

It's usually difficult to decide on what to eat. So it would be nice to have options to choose from.

What it does

Shows people nearby restaurants when they chat something with "food" or "eat" in their message.

How we built it

We used socket.io, javascript, node.js, and HTML/CSS. We also used the Google Places API.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges with implementing the Google Places API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We made a chat room that works locally and shows suggestions when someone types in food or eat. It shows 5 nearby restaurants and gives links to them.

What we learned

We learned how to build a chat room with socket.io and learned how to implement the Google Places API.

What's next for Food Chat

We would like to improve the UI to be more aesthetic. We would also like to add more features for showing the restaurants, like adding a map feature and showing where the restaurants are.
