FOP

Inspiration

• everyone consumes an incredible amount of social media, but we don't see things that matter to us.
• how can we create a platform where people ONLY see things that matter to them?
• how can we use AI to unlock the potential of this problem?

What it does

• FOP is a geo-based community message board, were members can participate in topics of interest within their social spheres
• keep your Finger On (the) Pulse

How we built it

• NextJS framework w/ Tailwind
• Mapbox API map
• Firebase data storage
• OpenAI API relevancy function
• Vercel deployment and CI

Challenges we ran into

• the .tech domain was hard to work with, we ran into issues with the DNS propagation, and had to get support
• calculations with lat and long coordinates were difficult to manage when trying to center the map
• making the UI responsive to both desktop and mobile screen was a challenge late into the process

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• good animation on the front-end, very intuitive UI
• learning about prompt engineering, deepening understanding of GPI AIs
• interactions were able to be made very fun and satisfying, making the project fun to play with and use

What we learned

• Learned about applying design thinking, and systems thinking, and how to interpret AI through those lenses
• Learned about how to apply AI technology and useful and productive ways

What's next for FOP

• We want to improve the robustness of the content relevancy classification, and want to integrate a content filtering function to promote safe community interactions
