Inspiration

As our first hackathon, we tried to contact several teammates to work together, but had trouble working together due to time zone, so we came up with an idea to build a Universal workspace utility app - Zone

What it does

1. Create Team

2. Generate Meeting Time across Time zone

3. See different time zone in your team

How we built it

Front-end

• React

Back-end

• Express

Database

• MongoDB

Deploy

• Heroku

Challenges we ran into

The algorithm to generate meeting Time

It's hard to come up with the algorithm to generate meeting time, since if we only find the overlapping time of each team member's time zone, sometimes there will be no results. but it's already really hard to come up with the query to find overlapping time, so that's the best we could do now.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

1. We actually used this app to schedule meetings because we have three different time zone

2. Come up with the algorithm to generate meeting time

What we learned

1. More complicated query

2. moment.JS

What's next for Zone

1. Come up with a better algorithm to schedule meetings

2. Sync with google calendar
