Inspiration

This project was inspired by Text For Humanity, which is the world's first texting switchboard. The idea is that you send a positive text to a stranger, and you'd receive one in return.

What it does

What our project does is that it takes the idea of sending texts to strangers, but this time it's more varied in topics. It was created in order to combat the loneliness or mental health issues that citizens might be facing in this difficult time. We have 4 main categories: Watch, Read, Listen and Message, from which you can suggest a movie, a book, a song, send an encouraging message and more! You also earn points for sending recommendations to strangers and friends, which can be redeemed for gift cards!

How we built it

We built this project using Figma.

Challenges we ran into

One of the challenges we ran into was agreeing on what to make in general. It took a while to agree on concepts and features. Another challenge we ran into was learning how the programs worked since it was the first time most of us ever used Figma. Almost everyone in the team is a beginner.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that the demo is working and came out just as how we envisioned it.

What we learned

We learned a lot about mobile app design, especially since it was our first time using Figma!

What's next for Quarantine Quarters

Our next steps would be to reach out and find sponsors for the gift cards so we can make the rewards system fully functional. We will also continue to improve the design and interface of the app.
