Inspiration

I've been wanting to make an Android counterpart to my iOS app HackHunt https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hackhunt/id1163909755?mt=8 and CalHacks was the perfect time to get on to that!

What it does

Uses a Python Flask app to scrape information about hackathons from MLH.io and then the app displays this information in one easy to access place.

How I built it

I used Android Studio to build the Android app and I used Python to make some changes to an older web scraper https://github.com/mikachoow21/mlh-api. I used RapidApi's GoogleGeocode connection to offload all geocoding to the Flask app rather than having the device do it.

Challenges I ran into

Using Fragments in Android Studio

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Learning how to use many features of Android Studio
