Inspiration

This app is inspired from the PokeDex. A PokeDex tracks a Pokemon's synergies, and all other sorts of information. But, the most important thing it tracks is their strengths and weaknesses. The FriendDex instead tracks your friends' likes and dislikes.

What it does

The FriendDex essentially acts as an AI contact list. It will take your statements about your friends and organize them neatly. If you ever find something that your friend is interested in, be sure to jot it down in your FriendDex, so that you can buy them a good gift later on.

One of the worst signs of friendship is when you buy your friend something they hate. It shows you don't really care about them. The FriendDex tracks dislikes, so this way something as awkward as that will never happen.

How we built it

We used C# and EF Core Framework to build it originally, then we incorporated many other APIs.

Challenges we ran into

We only ran into challenges when we started hosting the site. Figuring our how Docker worked was a pain.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Implementing the use of many different technologies. It's the first time we made something we would actually use.

What we learned

We learned how to combine a lot of technologies together, which included integrated different APIs into a C# tech stack.

What's next for FriendDex

Include more information about our friends. We want this app to sit idlely on a mobile device, so maybe a screensaver option so that you can always see important information about your friends when you wake up.
