My Neighbor

Inspiration

• Hobbies! We love hobbies and we've made friends over hobbies. For example, this Hackathon!

What it does

• Allows people to make friends through "Guilds" which represent a hobby of some sorts.
• Users can start "Guilds" themselves to begin building a community

How we built it

• We used a SQL Database backend in combination with Flask to expose a URL that, when sent a request, will execute functions connected to the data bases
• Front end uses Python, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, along with a Django framework to connect each interaction in the front end with APIs in the backend using HTTP

Challenges we ran into

• Literally everything
• Connecting the front end and backend was a bit more difficult to accommodate for each member's skills
• Finding a tech infrastructure that was easy enough was difficult to do
• creating an application that was realistically deployable

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• It runs!
• Database structure was well made
• Front end looks amazing
• Teamwork and communication was phenomenal

What we learned

• Planning is an underrated aspect of hackathons.
• Django is a great way to connect frontend and backend
• Version control using Git was interesting...

What's next for My Neighbor

• Make it even more functional!
• Maybe deploy using python anywhere or AWS
