Inspiration

As University of Waterloo students who are constantly moving in and out of many locations, as well as constantly changing roommates, there are many times when we discovered friction or difficulty in communicating with each other to get stuff done around the house.

What it does

Our platform allows roommates to quickly schedule and assign chores, as well as provide a messageboard for common things.

How we built it

Our solution is built on ruby-on-rails, meant to be a quick simple solution.

Challenges we ran into

The time constraint made it hard to develop all the features we wanted, so we had to reduce scope on many sections and provide a limited feature-set.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We thought that we did a great job on the design, delivering a modern and clean look.

What we learned

Prioritize features beforehand, and stick to features that would be useful to as many people as possible. So, instead of overloading features that may not be that useful, we should focus on delivering the core features and make them as easy as possible.

What's next for LiveTogether

Finish the features we set out to accomplish, and finish theming the pages that we did not have time to concentrate on. We will be using LiveTogether with our roommates, and are hoping to get some real use out of it!
