King Warrior(Go Black Go Gold)

Taking Waterloo Campus experience to the moon. 🚀

Inspiration

In August 2020, I saw an article. It was an eye-opener. My perspective changed of watching how the web app works. This was my inspiration.

What it does

You can move around the map and experience the waterloo campus in a much better way :).

How I built it

I built it using React for the frontend and used Mapbox API for showing the map and scraped the data from Waterloo Website

Challenges I ran into

First of all my stack was using Golang and React for the frontend. But due to some database issues. (11hrs left to the submission) I dropped down the idea of using it and move forward with a little bit different idea and make something that is actually visual. I also had a chat feature(using Firebase API). I couldn't do it because I had the free tier(which doesn't let you use their authentication service). So I had to drop down some awesome features due to some financial issues which would have made the web app more authentic.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

I am proud that it is fetching the Mapbox API and I am glad that this hackathon taught me how to make decisions in various situations. I increased my maturity tbh.

What I learned

I learned Golang, used it as a back-end language. Even tho, in the end, I shifted to something else it was worth using.

What's next for King Warrior

If I get some kind of credit card or funding then I am really looking forward to adding authentication and making a user Dashboard and bringing all waterloo students together with area-wise chats and personal DMs and I hope that the journey begins from EngHack.
