Social Media Essentials

Have you ever opened a social media app to message your friends only to get lost in an addicting cycle of endless scrolling? With our social app you can get rid of the media and get straight to DM-ing

Inspiration

When we use social media, we usually go on it to talk with friends. We then get stuck scrolling and looking at addictive social media.

What it does

It is a app with our own UI that takes the messaging platforms of other social media and places it all in one app. You can then message anyone you have on those sites, skipping the media and getting straight to socializing.

How we built it

We got a Java Gradle project with Java swing to make the UI and are continuing to integrate the backed to have API/tokens to access the social media accounts.

Challenges we ran into

The open use of API functionality by several social media companies were limited. Getting the complex back-end to function.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
