A mobile app for finding a study buddy!
Lets students create accounts on the app and login to view other student profiles. It's the studying version of Tinder. The user will view profiles that have similar traits, such as class or subject they are interested in studying for, and can decide if they want to match with them. If both users decide to match, they can then message and plan to meet up, whether in person or virtually, to study together (this part isn't functional).
We used React Native and Firebase to create Study Buddies. We wanted to make an app that could, at the minimum, match users based on subject they want to study. After deciding what the MVP was, we prototyped the UX/UI using Figma and started learning React Native. We slowly incorporated Firebase into our project and got the Realtime Database and Authentication working for users.
Follow the environment set up for the React Native CLI.
To run the app on IOS:
git clone git@github.com:n-mathis/study-buddies.git
cd study-buddies
npm install
cd ios/
pod install
cd ..
npx react-native start
You'll have to open another terminal window and run:
npx react-native run-ios
