Inspiration

This project was inspired by Pictochat on the Nintendo DS, and the struggle of transferring files/links from my iPhone to my desktop or Windows device.

What it does

As of submission, only the UI/UX portion is completed. This service allows a user to quickly create a chatroom, which can be quickly accessible with a 4-digit code. This code can be quickly provided to another person, or themselves on a separate device, for ease of sending files and links without the hassle of registrations.

How we built it

HTML, CSS, JavaScript. FireBase planned for database for web deployment.

Challenges we ran into

How to connect the website to a database and to authenticate users who sign-in, to ensure room-ids correspond to the correct chat rooms.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The design.

What we learned

How to animate entities on CSS, and the complexities of linking to databases.

What's next for BlinkChat.

Functionality.
