Connecting people who love outdoor adventure together

What it does

A social network where users can create events and join events, then go to the activities together to meet new people, get moving, and go exploring.

How we built it

The database was created using SQL in google cloud, then the data was read and handled in java.

Challenges we ran into

Did not have time to create a functioning UI.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This was everyone's first hackathon, so it was mostly a learning experience. The ability to make a remote could service work with no prior cloud or database experience at all was exciting.

What we learned

How hackathons work, teamwork, SQL, and general project collaboration skills.

What's next for Outdoor Social Network

Fixing the UI and having a basic implementation of our concept. There might be a bug in which it only works on the local IP address, so we would have to learn how to fetch that for each device and insert that in.
