Gobble - A New Social Experience

Inspiration

Going through our first semester at university, we often found it hard to reach out, make plans, and find partners to dine with. Facing the social stigma of having to eat alone made us question what it must feel like for others who are truly alone. As a result, we decided to build an app that allows you to not only stave off that dreaded loneliness but also make new friends.

What it does

We connect people during mealtimes based on their food preferences and their preferred mealtimes.

How I built it

We used android studio to design the front-end and Java, Python for the back-end, with mongodb dependency for database management.

Challenges I ran into

There were several Activities that needed to be implemented and keeping track of the flow of data and the state of activity was tedious.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We designed an app that has many features. We managed to install a chat feature into our app that allows users to have an interactive and enriching experience!

What I learned

Whenever you're faced with a challenge, never give up. Be calm and read through documentation carefully and you will find the solution! More specifically, we took a very deep dive into front end development that we had never done before!

What's next for Gobble - A New Social Experience

We plan to roll out several new features like Single user food recommendations, restaurants feedback and memories. Also we would like to improve on our chat functions to offer more connectivity
