Inspiration
We were inspired by apps like Clubhouse and Twitter spaces however we were also turned off by the exclusiveness of these platform and how they prioritize VCs or billionaires over everyday people.
What it does
We enable students to voice chat with each other, we believe this is the optimal form of communication as it expresses greater emotions than text without the appearance worries of video.
How we built it
The app is a react native based with our focus being on android development. The backend uses a Node server which uses Google Cloud Firebase to authenticate users and store data. The critical voice communicate is done through WebRTC.
Challenges we ran into
Configuring a bare workflow react native application that is compatible with webRTC
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Following a prototyping process for design to enable us to work faster
What we learned
React native is cool if and when it works WebRTC is most conducive to web or native
What's next for SpeakEasy
We plan to flesh out the voice communicate with scalability, notifications, calendar integrations, friends list and instant messaging.
