Inspiration
Especially as first year college students, people may struggle to meet new people and make new friends. This app aims to facilitate an interaction between people and allow them to get to know each other.
What it does
Matches participants based on similar interests and allows them to talk to each other over message. Participants may not change talking partners until the admins permit re-entering the pool. Ideally, this facilitates interaction between people rather than allowing them to swipe away like you can do on popular social media.
How we built it
The website was largely created using Claude in order to create a full product within the time limit. The art for the button leading up to the matching feature was created by one of our members.
Challenges we ran into
Since we're beginners who don't have much experience working on a project across multiple devices, we struggled a bit with uploading changes to GitHub.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to create a working product by the end of the hackathon!
What we learned
We learned how to collaborate on coming up with a project idea, planning it, and executing a working product.
What's next for Ready? Set, Friend!
Making the app in app form rather than website and developing an automatic admin feature so that manual admin controls are unnecessary to manage.
