  Monthly Calendar

Inspiration

We wanted a simple solution for students to carpool to the airport. Sharing a ride to the airport is cheaper and more friendly to the environment, and RideshareUCLA makes this easy.

What it does

This application allows students to view a public calendar of others looking to share a ride to the airport and post the times they are looking for. Those who have similar plans can connect to share a ride

How we built it

We built this application with Chakra UI and React, NodeJS, ExpressJS, and Google Firestore.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into unique issues with the calendar UI, passing datetime objects to our API, and CORS :(

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of creating a working app in 1 day.

What we learned

We learned a lot about CORS, calendars, flight APIs, and we even tried SQL!!

What's next for RideshareUCLA

Next, we want to implement live flight data to change preferred ride times automatically. We also want to include Auth0 so users can make accounts and message others through our service.
