Inspiration

We got inspired by the fact that we were wanting to do some plans but because not knowing someone that liked the plan we didn't finally did it.

What it does

It searches on a local database of travels for people that will be on the same city at the same time and, if they have a common favourite sport, recommend some matches of this sport to go see them.

How we built it

We started thinking to develop an Android app but for problems with Android Studio and our computers we ended deciding to do a web app.

We have tho different parts on the project:

1. The frontend developed on pure HTML + JavaScript
2. The backend developed using the Flask python framework and a sqlite3 database.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into some challenges at enabling the correct communication between the two parts of the project. Also we had some other challenges working with an external API that we couldn't modify.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Having a simple but useful API working.
• Use correctly external APIs to get data.

What we learned

• To use external APIs.
• Do projects divided in some layers that can communicate between them.

What's next for The super sports matcher

• Adding a menu of personal data to contact the people if the person that is using the app likes some plan and mate.
• Use an auth service
• That the user can filter and/or order events based on certain criteria (for example, show only events from a championship sorted by distance from its city)
