Inspiration

We were inspired by apps with a slightly similar model of anonymity, but restricted to professionals. We wanted to bring similar benefits of community, freedom, and information to students like ourselves across several universities.

What it does

Hall is a mobile web-app that serves as a forum for students to share information and learn from one another. We stand out in the anonymous nature of user post and the focus away from each individual having an "online presence". The platform only allows verified students to join and allows them to engage in their immediate community/universities as well as connect with students in other universities through channels of shared interest e.g Games, Football, Music, Events, etc

How we built it

We built this app using React.js and Flask frameworks alongside a relational database hosted on AWS' cloud platform

Challenges we ran into

Getting lost in juggling multiple tasks
Getting familiar with AWS instances creations and policies
Maintaining documentation of information crucial to shared work

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Implementation of designs into functioning front-end
Efficient cooperation of developing different or same parts of the project simultaneously
Producing a well-designed proof-of-concept of a social/forum-based app in under 24 hours
