All third year CS students this term know how many group projects we’ve been forced into - the world class intellects in our team decided that the best way to tackle this is to form yet another group. Finding teammates for large courses with different requirements is surprisingly difficult; even during the third week of class we found messages in the discord and canvas discussions in multiple courses where people were looking for a group. We then realized that finding groups for common goals or interests goes way beyond just university courses. The example we had thought of is wanting a group to go to the concert of a niche indie artist. Examples where an app to find a group for a shared activity began flooding in, and that’s when we began to realize the truly astronomical potential of our idea. We would go as far as to say that this idea is out of this world! The desire for company in the vast, cold, dark expanses of space would probably be orders of magnitude greater than what we feel on earth. If the distances are short enough for light-based communication to not take hours or days or more, we believe that this app could work in space (of course, if we had ECC memory and other resilient hardware to run it on
