Inspiration

Since Valentine's day is coming up, we were inspired to make a date idea generator. We also have a hard time deciding on what to do and thought that this project would be useful.

What it does

Our project is a web application that generates 3 date ideas for the user based off of their location.

How we built it

We built our web app using React.js for the front end and the Google Place API for generating the activity locations for the date ideas, making sure that each location is close to the user.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into many challenges with the formatting and design of the website (the CSS in particular was really finicky). Also, we had problems with accessing the API key of the Google Place API and processing the data.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of completing this hackathon in a short period of time and being able to submit a finished product.

What we learned

We learned how to use React.js and CSS, as well as the intricacies of https get requests (specifically with the Google Place API).

What's next for Fundatesfor.me

In the future, we will include features that allow the user to choose how many date ideas are generated as well as filling out a form to customize the experience. In the form, we would take input such as how long they want their date to be and their price range. Additionally, we will be including
