Our inspiration for Meetmaps came from our experience on campus during this past school year. This app helps users find local events which will help them meet new people in the area. usually, those that share the same interests ranging from playing a sport to the love of volunteering.
We built this as a web app through a Django backend and HTML/CSS/JavaScript frontend.
The biggest challenge we ran into was server running, as hosting services were hard to come by. Additionally HTML styling issues were our greatest obstacle.
The largest learning point was the MapBox API for map implementation.
MeetMaps will be launched by our team and hopefully, we wish to implement it into use on both NCSU and UNC-Chapel Hill Campuses.
