Inspiration

Re:Meet was inspired by the desire to know when certain individuals are online at a moment's notice. Reconnect with friends, co-workers, and peers with a simple one click and authorization to your Google calendar.

Rather than needing to add multiple Google calendars, sharing your own multiple times, or needing to be within the same organization, Re:Meet simplifies the process and offers a slick Discord-inspired UI to instantly see when everyone else is busy.

Create or join other groups using a unique group id. Toggle different calendar views while on the go! Gone are the days where we need to continuously create new When2Meets. Start today, and sync that Google calendar and start planning!

What it does

Re:Meet allows the user to have a single sign in via Google O'Auth and utilizes Google's Calendar API in order to fetch all the times that the user current has scheduled. It displays it all on a calendar. The user can then complete the following:

Create a group / Invite friends to the group
Join a group via unique group id
View all added members of the group / View all calendar events in the group
Enjoy live updates as changes are updated in real time
Leave groups
Toggle Different Views
Mobile friendly!

How I built it

We built it using a React front end, Material UI, and Firebase backend. For the calendar, we utilized Full Calendar and made use of Google Calendar's API. .

Challenges I ran into

Deciding on a topic
Switching topic (lol) - we scrapped out the first project idea
Working with Async (await Promise.all)
Synchronizing relevant information in database (had to make use of multiple connections)
Making a demo video last minute and uploading it 15 mins before the deadline

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Deployed useful and usable application within 24hours
Mobile friendly
Use of full calendar API and google calendar API
synchronization of data
Getting the video uploaded on time

What I learned

Async Issues / Debugging
Google Calendar API
Syncing data and combining data from multiple API calls
Full Calendar API

What's next for Re:Meet

Better UI polishes
Available/ Unavailable Status updates
Moderation tools for owners of groups
Further theme customization / dark mode/ custom themes
Integration with more than just Google Calendar and other productivity apps (MS Outlook Calendar, Notion, Trello)
