Inspiration

College life is exciting, but sharing a room with the wrong roommate can be stressful. We wanted to solve the problem of random roommate allocation and make it fun, vibe-based, and personal.
That’s why we created RoomieRadar a ,tool that helps you find your hostel soulmate through lifestyle choices, hobbies, and even music taste 🎶.

What it does

RoomieRadar matches you with the right roommate by:

  • Asking simple vibe questions (🌙 Night Owl or 🌞 Early Bird?)
  • Considering hobbies and interests 🎨
  • Adding a fun twist with shared music playlists 🎧

It also shows a "Roommate Match Score" so you instantly know your compatibility.

🛠️ How we built it

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • Deployment: Netlify
  • Design: Emoji-rich UI with clean and calming aesthetic

Challenges we ran into

  • Making the UI minimal yet aesthetic took many tries.
  • Handling JavaScript logic for matching answers was tricky.
  • Managing time was tough — we wanted to add more features but had to focus on the core idea.

Accomplishments

  • Built a working prototype within hackathon time.
  • Designed a fun, clean, and user-friendly interface.
  • Received positive feedback for making roommate matching less stressful.

What we learned

  • How to deploy projects on Netlify easily.
  • Writing cleaner, more responsive HTML and CSS.
  • The importance of simplicity in design.

We even designed a simple formula for compatibility:

$$ Match\ Score = \frac{Lifestyle + Hobbies + Music}{3} $$

What’s next for RoomieRadar

  • Add AI-based roommate compatibility prediction.
  • Integrate Spotify API to generate playlists automatically.
  • Build backend with secure login and user profiles.
  • Expand into a campus-wide student community app.
