Inspiration

There were a lot of salutations where I had to wait in long lines just stand awkwardly. I thought it would be useful if there was a quick and easy way to create a system where people would get their numbers called when it was their turn (like at the dmv)

What it does

Using the web app, you can create an online queue in one click. As a host, you can then share your screen on a tv or projector. People can then use the queue code to check in to the queue and get a number. The host then clicks the "Next!" button to have announce the next number in the queue.

How we built it

This app was built using react, express, and mongodb.

Challenges we ran into

In order to save time, I decided to store my entire frontend state as one giant object variable. This caused some lag and made the text-to-speech feature announce late.
