Inspiration
We were inspired by our problems with constant meetings - club meetings, work meetings, planning meetings - and people always had to deal with rescheduling and conflicting schedules. Frustrated, we found a way to take the headaches out of meeting and making connections.
What it does
MeetMate takes your availability by using Google Calendar's APIs and considers the amount of time a meeting will take and when you want to have it. Then, it automatically schedules the meeting in the best possible time slot with minimal mental burden.
You sign in and let it know what meetings you have, and let it do the rest!
How we built it
We used Google's API calls and Cloud to create the Chrome extension. The back end is written in Javascript, and the front end is written in HTML.
Challenges we ran into
Understanding how to use API keys and working with OAuth authentication required reading up on documentation and understanding the manifest.json file that described all the permissions and scope of the extension.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We chose to create an extension instead of a web app so that people can use their existing workflow and improve their day-to-day, so we're proud of being unique in that aspect.

What's next for MeetMate
We're going to iterate and improve how MeetMate thinks to schedule meetings and improve the user experience. We could also include notifications for events as they get done.
