Study Buddies

This is a web app for the purpose of helping students streamline the process of organizing study meetups.

• User will fill out a form with name, location, and how long they would like to study for
• Upon form submission, the user will see a map of their fellow students and current location, as well as a table of the students to choose to meetup with arranged according to distance.
• Upon choosing a classmate to meet with, a new map will populate with study spots (cafes) between the two users and the option to open Slack for communicating

Technologies Used

• Javascript
• jQuery
• HTML/CSS
• Twitter Bootstrap
• Firebase
• APIs (TomTom, Geocodio, Yelp)
• Moment.js

Fun Features

• Form validation to ensure that the user has filled in all fields and address is valid for API queries
• User location data is erased from the server when their submitted time of availability has expired

More to Come

• this app was originally the creation of a four-person team. The original repo can be found at https://github.com/AKluger/Project-One
• I am tweaking the design of the app, the look of the app, and the underlying technologies to create a more robust product
• Node.js will be implemented to secure API keys and user data
• a new map API will replace TomTom, and potentially Yelp will be swapped for google locations.
