Inspiration
"My roommate (Ryann) was offered a tutoring job a check for $3000. It was a crazy amount of money for just four weeks of work. He was suspicious of the check and to prevent situations like this from happening again, we have created Tuder." - Ben Kosten
"I didn't like Kumon enough" - Hyunwoo Do
What it does
- Tuder matches students with tutors based on preferred courses, subjects, availability, and expertise
- Provides a messaging platform for tutors to communicate effectively to students
How we built it
- Used vue-cli to initialize a blank project and installed Vuetify for its material design components.
- The server and database service were made in nodejs with mongoose driver.
Challenges we ran into
- HTML is hard.
- mongodb would only work half the time.
- git checkout deleted all of the client source files. (at approx 5am)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- sick domain http://tuder.me
- parses current RPI classes and displays / organizes them
- Whipped up a backend, front-end and database REAL QUICK!
What we learned
- Some learned html
- Some learned the powers of caffeine
- Everyone took away a new skill, for some html for others it was how to restore cached sublime files...

- Location support for other universities.
- Messaging service.
