Inspiration

• Nintendo 3DS StreetPass functionality.
  ## What it does It allows people to easily find others who have similar interests and goals in relation to Sports / Fitness.
  ## How we built it Using the BLE capabilities in all modern phones, whenever a phone is nearby that also has the application, the phones will exchange usernames via BLE. The usernames will then be passed to the Convex database for the rest of the user information.
  ## Challenges we ran into Originally, we had planned to use an Arduino Nano (BLE Sense), to create a similar project, but instead as a keychain. It eventually became clear that it would be much more accessible to others if it was instead an app.
  ## What we learned I learned the value of a well thought out plan. While we came into the project with idea of what we wanted to make, it would have been a better idea to plan out exactly what we wanted to make. We could've designed a clear framework of the APIs and Libraries we intended to use so that way we didn't have to do that research DURING the hackathon.
  ## What's next for Walkpass? Part of the goal with WalkPass is simplicity, so in terms of improvements, we don't plan to add a lot more features. Ideally, we would like to add more versions, especially for iOS. For DEFCON, we would like to make a badge, utilizing our existing framework to make a badge to sell.
