For now, we focused on a clean and simple layout

When creating a quest, Uniquest asks if you need something, or are giving something
-
Then, you name your quest, describe what you want, what you want in return, and wherther the quest is time sensitive
-
If you're bored and want to help someone out, you can also search quests! You can even sort by categories!
-
What about your profile? You can edit how you appear to others, add goods and services you like, and view your quests and tracked quests!
Inspiration
All those times when we just wished that Facebook sell/buy/connect forums would just match us up without having to go through the trouble ourselves.
UniQuest is a pun on uniquest, because all quests are unique! Cheesiness aside, it also plays with University Quest - what each user creates. The quest angle itself came from old school video game quest/mission systems.
What it does
UniQuest connects user-submitted Quests with Questers who might fulfill them. A Quest first asks whether you want something (i.e. a study buddy, a cute black dress) or if you're giving something (said cute black dress, an old textbook, etc.). Users also specify what they want in return, or what they're willing to exchange - currencies we call "goods" or "services."
On the other side, Questers can search for Quests, track ones that interest them, and reach out to finalize exchanges.
Goods can be money, or food. Services can be tutoring, or a music lesson, or art commission. It really is up to the users to define how they want to exchange - Uniquest merely facilitates it.
How we built it
Using HTML, CSS, and Javascript for the front-end, and Google Cloud API for the back-end.
Challenges we ran into
- Lack of time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Melissa - I created webpages for the first time since high school!
Kat - Improving my HTML coding skills.
Binta - The Design
Melody - Learning Google Cloud API.
What we learned
It's hard to create a website in such a short amount of time.
What's next for UniQuest
Actually adding in all the features we had planned! Maybe even creating an app.
