Inspiration
Being a student myself, I've faced a really hard time searching for an authentic mess who meets my diet needs. Being tried a few yet never felt fulfilled because it is really next to impossible to find a perfect match. Not to talk about finding one in a new city. So this is how I got the idea to build a simple application, which will help students or anyone living far away from their home to get the food as per their requirements. It's like a mini search engine as well as a feedback database, I hope this will help others like me.
How I built it
I used reactjs for frontend, expressjs for backend, and PostgreSQL for database
Challenges I ran into
As this was my first hackathon, managing time was the biggest challenge. At the end I had to drop some features which I wanted to add.
Accomplishments that I am proud of
Submitting my first hackathon project
What's next for Monthly Mess
Adding features to let users update their profile and upload images.
