**Note: According Urban dictionary:
"Weeb is the lesser version of a weeaboo. Watches CGDCT anime, may or may not have a body pillow/waifu, usually browses r/animemes. Whatever you do, don't call them a weeb; it only makes them more powerful."
"NEET stands for 'Not in Education, Employment or Training', a term used in Japan for shut-ins who watch anime." They are a group of people that needs love and attention.
Inspiration
We want to help Naruto to find his Sasuke, Goku to find his Dragon Balls, and Luffy to find his pirate ship. Anime fans deserve love, anime fans deserve friendship! The goal of our app is to help build a world where no anime fan will be lonely ever again.
What it does
The app connects anime fans with anime fans. Users select people that they want to talk to based on their anime choice and waifu (favourite female anime character) or husbando (favourite male anime character).
The user can choose between the choice of waifu or laifu. If the user picks waifu, then the user approve the other anime fan base on their anime taste. If the user picks laifu, then user disproves of their anime taste.
WARNING: at WeebsMeetNeets, we prohibit users from trash talking other people's waifus and husbandos! This is a serious matter, all users who violates this rule will be removed by the admin. Unless your husbando is Kirito from Sword Art Online, then you just suck.
How we built it
We built it with our passion for anime.
And also a sprinkle of the following tools: Django for backend, React for frontend, SQLite for database, and Kitsu-API for accessing anime-related data.
Challenges we ran into
We had a huge fight deciding which anime character should we use for your login page.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We played Taiko master in "Hard" mode.
What we learned
We found out that we were all weebs.
What's next for WeebsMeetNeets
We are organizing a meetup for all the weebs from Hack Harvard C:
Create a map of all weebs and NEETs around the world; App that allows people to watch anime together; Helping weebs find Facebook, Discord groups about anime so they can find a sense of belonging.
