Inspiration

This project was partly inspired by a Daily Californian article about the 10 best bathrooms in which to poop on campus. We thought it would be useful to implement the same concept, but with places to study. With the help of CubStart mentors, we were able to add features and further develop the idea into StudySpaces.

What it does

  • Sorts study spaces by name, distance, popularity, building, saved, and/or search result
  • Expands to show information on each room (rating, hours, directions, days on which it's reserved)
  • User-friendly reservation interface indicates room availability at different times & on different days
  • Allows you to reserve rooms, view upcoming reservations, view history
  • Optional sign-in allows you to accumulate credit based on history

How we built it

We built an application prototype on Adobe Experience Design CC Beta, designed the logo using Photoshop, and developed the iOS application on Swift using the Maps API.

Challenges we ran into

We're all complete beginners to hacking, and we ran into a lot of trouble while figuring out how to use different development programs like Sketch and Android Studio.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a successful logo and protoype, learning how to develop a mobile application last-minute.

What we learned

  • How to code
  • How to stay up
  • Soylent does not taste that good

What's next for StudySpaces

More complete iOS development and hopefully transfer to Android!
