Inspiration

Finding a dedicated subleasing platform can be challenging, often pushing people to rely on social media. Our platform fills this gap by offering a streamlined way to search for subleases that meet specific needs.

What it does

Our platform allows users to create, manage, and search sublease listings. With AI technology, users can input their preferences, and the system tailors results to best match their requirements and interests.

How we built it

We developed the platform using a Swift frontend paired with a Flask backend. We integrated AI-driven search algorithms and implemented secure user authentication to ensure a smooth, reliable experience. Collaboration tools like Git and Figma helped streamline our design and development process.

Challenges we ran into

One of our biggest hurdles was integrating the backend with the frontend. Each of us had to tackle new technologies and implement features we hadn’t worked with before. This pushed us out of our comfort zones but ultimately strengthened our skill sets.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud of building a fully functional MVP within the hackathon’s time constraints. Our team successfully leveraged diverse technologies and collaborated effectively, combining our individual strengths to deliver a seamless product.

What we learned

Throughout the process, we gained valuable experience integrating Swift with Flask and developing AI-powered features. We also learned to navigate unfamiliar technologies, prioritize tasks efficiently, and collaborate effectively under time pressure.

What's next for Subleasing VT

Next, we plan to enhance the AI functionality by implementing web scraping to gather more accurate and diverse data from a variety of apartment and housing listings, further improving search precision.
