Inspiration
We both had solo traveling experiences and found ourselves pretty much always eating alone on our solo trips. We wondered if we could build an app that helps us connect with others who are also solo travelers to eat together.
What it does
This is a web app that contains a form which the user submits to get a list of potential matches that are in close proximity to them and have similar food preferences as them as well.
How we built it
We built it using Firebase, React and Javascript.
Challenges we ran into
I haven't really worked with Javascript before so this is my first time using Javascript and there was a learning curve in the beginning however after reading some documentation, I was able to get up to speed pretty quickly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to learn fast and reiterate quickly on our idea.
What we learned
Writing a simple design doc helped us coordinate and be clear on what each of us was working on respectively.
What's next for Travel plate
After the user clicks into one of the potential matches, we want to display a list of restaurants that meet their preferences and both of them can go to together.
