Every student faces moments where they feel stuck — whether it’s doubts, concepts, skills, event preparation, or simply not knowing whom to approach. Existing platforms are either too formal, too broad, or not built for peer-to-peer support. We wanted a simple, fast, friendly space where students can help each other without hesitation. That idea became Peer Connect.

Peer Connect helps students:

Get quick help from peers

Understand difficult topics

Improve skills through peer-guided learning

Access useful resources shared by students

Form teams for hackathons, ideathons, and projects

Connect with helpful peers instantly

🟡 How we built it

We built Peer Connect using:

Base44 (No-Code Platform) for all screens and navigation

Modern, clean UI layouts without boxes or confusing visuals

Text-based category system instead of icons

Smooth page flow: Home → Quick Help → Category → Matches → Chat

Data structure with users, categories, events, and helper availability

Our goal was to make the app feel friendly, modern, and not like a study tool.

🟠 Challenges we ran into

Designing a UI that doesn’t feel like a study app

Making the categories simple but still meaningful

Ensuring users can write their own event names (because events are infinite)

Keeping everything lightweight enough for a no-code build

Building social-style flow without icons or heavy visuals

Time limitation with mid exams + 48-hour hackathon

🟢 Accomplishments we’re proud of

Created a clear, modern, and social-style layout

Designed simple category names that students instantly understand

Built a complete navigation flow using Base44

Developed an app that encourages peer-to

We’re shaping Peer Connect into a simple, comfortable space where students can support each other without hesitation. The focus is on making it easy to ask questions, understand topics, share skills, and team up for events. Everything we’re building is aimed at improving real peer-to-peer support, so no one feels stuck or alone while learning or working on something new.

I’m coordinating the overall flow of our Peer Connect app and finalizing the layouts we’re building in Base44. I’ve organized the feature structure, planned the Quick Help categories, and set the direction for the event collaboration and helper sections. I’ll continue guiding the design, checking the flow, and making sure everything fits our idea smoothly. Will update as we move forward.

I’m working on setting up the UI and connecting the main screens in Base44. I’ve started arranging the Quick Help categories and the helper list section. Next, I’ll build the event collaboration page and test the full flow to make sure everything works smoothly. Will update as I progress.
