Inspiration

Face to face connection is fantastic, but sometimes unrealistic for some conversations. If you're confused about what your professor is teaching, you can vibe check with people on Yap Bubble to see if they're in the same boat.

What it does

Chat with people within 100 feet of you.

How we built it

Convex. Such an amazing platform to handle

1. websocket connections
2. real time database polling/updates
3. reactive functional queries (godsend for geohashing)

Challenges we ran into

Tom, Michael, and Wayne were super helpful from Convex to help me talk through all my ideas an how it should be implemented ideally with the platform.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm super excited that I was able to build this in the first place! It was super fun to use Convex in Swift, which isn't technically support and I had to hack around with the Rust library and some open source stuff.

What we learned

geohashing is hard!

What's next for Yap Bubble

Getting it viral!! Have some UI and experience things I need to work on first tho...
