Let Us Decide

So you don't have to

Inspiration

To be honest. We really didn't have any inspiration when we made this. It just kind of came to me and I thought it would be a cool idea, especially because it was a simple idea and I wanted to sort of stand out by solving a small weekly problem.

What it does

The project aids in helping decide on a place to eat when you can't decide with your friends. It will pick a restaurant randomly from wherever you are.

How we built it

We built it using a python script with the help of Google Maps API and Google Place API. We ran the project on a docker container, using the python webserver system uvicorn helped by FastAPi.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into issues with docker and uvicorn, as they were both not working and docker was having some annoying and hard to fix problems. We also ran into issues with connecting the front-end to the back-end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to use APIs for the first time and were able to get some pretty fun and interesting results from it.

What we learned

We learned specifically about the Google Maps and Place API, and learned alot about docker, FastAPI, and uvicorn

What's next for Let Us Decide

We would probably want to clean up the UI a little more and expand it to more than just restaurants right now, potentially with movies too.
