Inspiration
Tinder sucks.
What it does
Programmers Only is a dating application for GitHub power users who are tired of all the standard online dating options. You are shown various snippets of code from potential partners, along with personalized bio messages, and can decide whether you are interested or not. If two people are interested in each other, they get matched!
How we built it
We used React.js for the frontend, and Flask for the main backend. We also stored data in a mongoDB Atlas database, and used UiPath to automatically take screenshots of code for the user's profile.
Challenges we ran into
None of us had used mongoDB or UiPath before, so we spent a lot of time just learning how to use them. Connections between all of our different technologies proved to be especially hard to figure out.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We managed to connect four web technologies together, two of which we have never used.
What we learned
Making a web app with unfamiliar technology is very difficult, because you have to learn how to use the technology, as well as how to connect it to others in the specific ways needed for your project.
What's next for Programmers-Only
We'd like to make a messaging interface for matched couples, improve the user account implementation to me more fully featured, and optimize the screenshot process a bit.
