Inspiration

Our team thought of the increasing amount of trans people and if they wanted a service that would algorithmically find a list of similar names to their current name.

What it does

It is a web app to give users name suggestions if they want to transition and have a new name that is phonetically similar.

How we built it

We built it using React Native and Expo for Android emulation.

Challenges we ran into

There were some new ways for React to pass data, which caused some learning on the fly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The algorithm returns a proper list. The setup, planning, and app structure were done well.

What we learned

We learned more about React development.

What's next for Trans Name Generator

We would like to be able to finish up basic functionality and continue linking up all the pages properly together. Additional features such as a favourites list could be implemented in the future as well.
