What's the Move?

Inspiration

The inspiration for our project was that all of us were often very unorganized in our lives, because there were so many things happening on campus. We wanted to find a way to make things less chaotic.

What it does

It places all events in a calendar. The hosts of the events are able to add events to a database and the app creates a new event based off of it. The user can then RSVP for an event and the app checks to make sure that the user does not register for multiple events during the same time. Furthermore, there is a log in request in the profile part that allows the user to sign in with google. This allows them to connect with their friends and see what events they are signed up for.

How we built it

In order to build this app, we used our skills in Java and the Android Studio IDE in order to generate an application. We used Firebase, Cloud Firestore, Google Authentication as well as knowledge with XML to create an android app for the Play Store.

Challenges we ran into

It was the first time for many of us using a collaborative version control software such as GitHub, and we ran into many issues regarding committing and pushing faulty versions of the code that created many bugs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we were able to work through as a team and push through to create a final app that has a solid working that we wanted.

What we learned

We learned that in order to work well as a team, simple knowledge of programming is not enough. We need proper organizational skills, and we need to know how to use organizational software such as GitHub as well.

What's next for What's the Move?

Next, even after HackGT, our team plans to continue working on the idea that we came up, and continue working on our project to make it a reality in the bigger picture.
