Munich Matcher
Inspiration
We wanted to provide vulnerable societal groups with ways to socialize with others, even when they do not have the opportunity or the technical know-how to use the common channels.
What it does
MunichMatcher is a platform designed to combat loneliness by connecting individuals to events and like-minded people. The core idea is to provide a space where users can discover events and meet people, while organizations help validate user profiles to ensure safety and trustworthiness.
How we built it
- Vue.js, Tailwind: Frontend of the website
- Java Spring Boot: Backend development framework,
- MongoDB: NoSQL database for handling data,
- OpenCage Geocoder API: Address geocoding to latitude/longitude.
Challenges we ran into
The Backend and Frontend components were developed simultaneously and connecting them was an issue of what worked best for each team.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Sleek design,
- Fully functional system, both for end-users and admins managing events,
- Implemented and integrated new system and libraries that were completely new to us.
What we learned
Teamwork, time management, different libraries and APIs.
