Inspiration

Our inspiration for this project was incoming students looking to find affordable housing and/or roommates. We realized how hard it was to find these connections post-pandemic, so we felt like students would greatly benefit from a service such as this one.

What it does

This is a Flutter mobile application that connects students with people who have posted listings of properties with rooms available for students looking at housing accommodations and roommates. The app uses Supabase for the backend data management. The app allows users to view listings of housing options, view details about a listing, and post a listing.

How we built it

Front-end is built using flutter.
Back-end is built using Supabase, an open-source back-end framework that uses PostgreSQL.

Challenges we ran into

Merge conflicts
Setting up the necessary dependencies
Reworking the backend from FireBase to Supabase

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The speed with which we were able to get a working MVP
The way that the backend is integrated
Collaboration was smooth and efficient

What we learned

We learned new technologies such as Supabase and Flutter
We learned more about working together in teams and facing issues such as merge conflicts
We learned how to work better remotely
