Inspiration

  • Having a lot of unscheduled days or change in plans during vacations which often means wasted days
  • The joy of spontaneous planning
  • Swiping interface of potential interests inspired by dating apps but for events instead of people

What it does

  • Shows events occurring within 2 weeks based on your location and interests

How we built it

  • Nextjs, React and TailwindCSS for frontend
  • Expressjs backend

Challenges we ran into

  • Constant reiterations of backend structure
  • Connecting frontend to backend

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Great idea
  • App design UI/UX

What we learned

  • Ideas are more well built when everybody can pitch their ideas on equal footing and can freely disagree
  • A lot of communication is required because a lot of iterating occurs during the process
  • How to work in parallel with the backend using mock data and dependency injection

What's next for TravelMate

  • monetisation by advertising or a premium subscription plan for $4.99/month
  • improved feed algorithm
  • improved security
  • friends feature
  • scalability
