Motivation

The quarantine period we are facing due to the pandemic surely makes a lot of people bored. As people have more time than ever, it's hard to decide what to do when they're stuck in their house all the time. Pages like BuzzFeed usually have suggestions for boredom. However, do people really read those? And after reading those suggestions, does anyone actually do it? Therefore, Daycation was born.

What it does

Counting on human' spontaneousness, Daycation only shows people only 1 suggestion at a time. Imagine Tinder but for activities. On Tinder, we swipe left or right based on our subconscious feelings. By suggesting only 1 activity at a time, we eliminate doubts and uncertainty in human' behavior when making decisions.

Daycation helps people find activities to do and suggests real locations to go.
Keeping safety in mind, our database only recommends suitable activities for social distancing.

How we built it

We use the decoupled architecture with NodeJS serving as the backend and simple HTML, CSS, JS as the frontend. We also use Yelp API for suggesting locations. We also utilize the swipeable interface by Gajus.
