study604

Inspiration

As students living off-campus, studying and working from home every day can become a drag. It's nice to change up the scenery once in a while. That's why we created study604.

What it does

Our app helps students and remote workers quickly find the best study-friendly spots in their city. Instead of wasting time searching or guessing, users can explore cafés, libraries, and co-working spaces rated by users for Wi-Fi reliability, noise levels, space, refreshments, and outlet access.

How we built it

study604 is a mobile web app built using React and TypeScript, and employing Supabase for the backend solution. We leveraged the Google Maps API to get update-to-date location information and an interactive map.

Challenges we ran into

Fully developing the nitty gritty details of our application and, it being our first time using Figma, creating a clean, user-friendly interface.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

That we built something genuinely useful for students like ourselves and that we managed to get it together in time.

What we learned

Mobile-first development, Google Maps API integration, and much, much more.

What's next for study604

More personalization: Don't need an outlet? Is having a quiet space essential? study604 could understand your preferences and make more detailed and personal suggestions for the perfect study spot for you!

Location partnership: study604 could partner with local coffee shops and libraries to help them advertise their spaces.

Curated lists: study604 could offer more detailed information about spots, aggregating them into a wider range of categories, helping you find the spot that best matches your vibe.

Expansion: Rolling out to other cities beyond Vancouver.
