Inspiration
Shared wanderlust and a penchant for saving money (aka being a student).
What it does
Inspires users to pursue traveling even when tied down to a limiting budget. Our product lets the user FLEYE by the seat of their pants.
How we built it
The backend was built using Express.js (a NODE framework), the handlebars templating engine, and the Amadeus API. The front end was built using Google Maps, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Challenges we ran into
We had a difficult time getting the backend and front end talking to one another. We also had issues, on the user end, balancing constraints with freedom. While we wanted to give the user agency, we also wanted to constrain the search for query purposes.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning how to use Node! Learning how to utilize the skill set of every team member.
What we learned
Having a good team makes everything better.
What's next for FLEYE
