Problem

Amidst the evolving landscape of online and in-person post-pandemic education, many students face difficulties trying to connect with study partners. Some struggle with scheduling study sessions due to various constraints, while others are simply a little too shy to approach someone new. Students are trapped, and isolated in their little bubble as they hesitate to take their first step forward.

Solution

StudyWithMe seamlessly combines the flexibility of online learning with the essential visual interactions between peers. By offering a structured and relaxed virtual environment, our platform not only brings students together for focused collaboration but also alleviates the apprehension of initiating connections with new individuals.

Challenges We ran into

This project had a time constraint of only 40 hours so we were pushed to complete all our tasks within the given time limit. We were also a group of developers experienced with different stacks and languages, so it took a bit of time for everyone to get accustomed to a new stack and language.

Accomplishments that We're proud of

We were able to implement various API calls, including Google's login workflow and Spotify's music API. We were also able to implement a full-stack application that utilises a database and ORM.

What We learned

We learned a lot about the coordination of work in such a short amount of time, and how to debug in a completely new language. Pair programming became important during this process and the collaboration between team members allowed us to complete the project on time and with good quality.

What's next for StudyWithMe

Deploy and continue to develop features that were mentioned during planning but not included in this release.
