Inspiration

Wanting to explore new places as a college-aged student.

What it does

Allows people to see new places that are recommended by students, for students.

How we built it

Used JavaScript for the frontend along with Next.js for the backend. Used prompt engineering to make a working dashboard and got input from our friends and family to populate postings.

Challenges we ran into

We originally did the frontend and backend on two separate computers with the intention to combine them. This made it very difficult to merge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are super proud of making a live, working website that can be shared across the world for students to populate as they travel to new places.

What we learned

We learned the most efficient way to file-share and merge while working as a team.

What's next for Put Your Anchor Down

We would love to continue populating it with more places as well as adding a language option, accessibility for non-drivers, and rankings of must-see, more niche hits, and holes in the wall.
