Inspiration

MTA keeps raising it's prices. We were inspired by our friend who always gives swipes from her unlimited card to strangers as she exits the subway system.

What it does

It connects people currently in transit to a destination with those who are starting their journey at that same station

How we built it

With React-Native and PubNub to allow for quick communication between people. We used PolyLines in react-native-maps to draw the subway map, custom markers f\ or the stations, and PubNub on the back end for connecting users in transit to \ users ready to depart.

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We made all of this in 16 hours

What we learned

A lot about PubNub

What's next for SwipeMe

Many features will be added to SwipeMe in the future such as allowing a user to pick an exact route from Google Maps API.
