Inspiration

We wanted to reduce the friction students face when managing notes, messages, and collaboration across multiple apps.

What it does

Our project is a real-time collaboration app that combines chat, rich-text notes, and media sharing in one place, making it easy to capture and share ideas instantly.

How we built it

We used React Native for the frontend, Socket.IO for real-time updates, and a Node.js + MongoDB backend. Data is cached locally with SQLite for fast and offline-friendly access.

Challenges we ran into

Keeping real-time data in sync with local storage while maintaining performance was tricky, especially handling offline cases and message ordering.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a smooth, responsive app that integrates real-time messaging and rich content editing into a single seamless experience.

What we learned

We learned how to design real-time systems, manage local + remote state, and quickly ship a polished product under time pressure.
