parkAway

Inspiration

We discussed the idea of "Giving back to the community" and came to the conclusion to make something that can make people's life easy so they can stop thinking of vehicle parking. The idea was to implement something to help people by other people.

What it does

It's a parking service where clients can post parking lots for rent. And users/customers can send a request to make a deal/contract. It's a kind of Airbnb for parking lots.

How we built it

We built the app using the following languages, and framework

• React.js
• Express.js
• Node.js
• MongoDB
• Bootstrap
• Twilio

Challenges we ran into

Learning new skills to implement the project. It was a bit challenging to work with API integration specifically while doing it for the first time as well as building the login for using Twilio. We also had a hard time resolving the merge conflicts in GitHub twice.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to learn about APIs and new frameworks. Specifically, we have learned that in a very short time.

What we learned

• Learnt how to effectively use APIs in an app and use the additional functionality. And most importantly how to integrate APIs

What's next for parkAway

We are planning to add location-based listings. And add a feature for payments (payment gateway).

Built With
