Inspiration

We were inspired by the fitbit app, which enabled competition amongst friends to get into better shape. We wondered if we can make an application like this to promote sustainability.

What it does

PeerSeeder is a social network to compete with friends in planting trees. It is an app where you add friends, and compete with those friends to plant as many trees as possible. The app includes a map of all the trees planted so far. A competition to plant trees is great for sustainibility.

How we built it

Express.js Node.js jQuery MongoDB Mapbox GL API

Challenges we ran into

There were a lot of challenges surrounding organizing and managing the data. We had to incorporate the addition of trees and users. We were not able to set up an account system to manage users.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to host the database on the cloud so that it is accessible from any device and not locally. The database also updates in real-time. We also implemented a user-friendly interface.

What we learned

How to operate databases and manage data. Also the Mapbox API and its functionalities. Overall, we became more familiar with web development.
