Inspiration

Our inspiration was the feeling of loneliness and separation due to the Covid19 pandemic.

What it does

It's a Java Swing app made to connect people to each other in a speed dating fashion to aid them in finding new people to talk to and to connect with

How I built it

It's built using the Agora RTM SDK for linux using Java and Java Swing for the interface

Challenges I ran into

A challenge we ran into is getting the Java Swing interface to take user inputs and send them out. We ran into the problem where the messages would fail to send. Out of sheer luck we discovered that if we placed a delay for as little as 1 second, it would allow for the messages to be sent from the Java Swing interface. It was a weird anomaly to us, but we found the fix.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• First time using Java Swing
• First time using Agora SDK and it will for sure be something that I use in the future for future projects. It was super simple and easy to get setup ## What I learned
• Java Swing
• How to use Agora services ## What's next for FriendMe! We would like to implement the program on a much larger scale and open it up to the mainstream with a much more modern UI.
