Inspiration

Hosts of social events/parties create their own music playlists and ultimately control the overall mood of the event. By giving attendees a platform to express their song preferences, more people end up feeling satisfied and content with the event.

What it does

Shuffle allows hosts to share their event/party playlists with attendees using a web interface. Attendees have the ability to view and vote for their favorite tracks using a cross-platform mobile application. The tracks in the playlist are shuffled in real time based on user votes.

How we built it

We used React for the web application (host) and react-native for the mobile application (client). Both applications access a central database made using MongoDB Stitch. We also used socket.io deployed on Heroku to provide real time updates.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating MongoDB Stitch and socket.io in order to show real time updates across multiple platforms.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the fact that we were able to create a cross platform web and mobile application. Only a valid internet connection is required to access our platform.
