DeveloperWeek Hackathon 2020 Here
Inspiration
We wanted to take ride-sharing to the next level by having people enjoy their rides and commutes through entertainment. So we thought music was a great way to get people more connected!
What we built
We built a web app that matches you with someone to carpool with depending on music taste as well as location and destination.
How we built it
We used HTML/CSS for front-end with JavaScript. Node.js and Ajax were used to get the matching working server-side. We worked with Here Api to get a map and routing between 2 locations.
Challenges we faced
Making the route between start and end location show on the map was definitely a challenge as we learned the Here api. Also, getting the server to match people based on desired route and location took most of our time to get to work.
What we learned
Learned more about Node.js and using APIs in JavaScript
What's next for Match My Ride
Adding driving directions, make match Spotify/Apple Music based. Adding more features for best experience!
