Inspiration

An app made BY long-distance friends FOR long-distance friends. Trying to overcome the difficulties of keeping up friendships in the face of conflicting schedules and time zones, and lack of communication between loved ones after moving away or living abroad.

What it does

Provides a variety of interesting and engaging virtual activities over which friends can connect.

How we built it

The development process began with defining the core concept and key features of the app’s user flow. We started by building a barebone Expo-based mobile application, implementing a React Native front-end, and integrating various JavaScript libraries to enhance functionality. During the process of development, we incorporated additional dependencies to improve performance and functionality. Many cans of Celsius were included in the making of this application.

Challenges we ran into

Learning curve: Expo was completely new to all of us, and we also began with limited JS experience. Time crunch: a lot of deep ideas that needed to be implemented in a short time frame. Staying awake

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Making the UI as clean and coherent as our code.

What we learned

How to hack - with Javascript, Expo, and React

What's next for neverfar

Larger userbase, scalability, speed, and more interesting features! Better integration of databases to optimize communication between different users!
