Inspiration

When we go to hackathons, there's always difficulties in finding members or coming up with project ideas. We wanted to create an application that allows people to meet up and connect with fellow hackers in a quick way without spending hours in forming a team.

What it does

The application allows users to create a team, search through a list of available team, join or communicate to a team, or make a post to get potential members on our application board. Users must have a Devpost account to have the project listed on the application.

How we built it

We built it using Meteor JS, a javascript framework for native app development. The app his hosted though a Node JS server using a Mongo DB database.

Challenges we ran into

This was the first time developing an application in Meteor JS and was difficult in some cases, for example, some of our pages would render the same content even though it was only supposed to render on one. Another issue was the API calls where we would get the response, but we kept receiving unexpected token that wouldn't be able to parse the data.
