Inspiration

To Make Room Bidding Great Again

What it does

• A interactive and comprehensive birds-eye view of all blocks in the hall
• A queueing system which prioritises residents with higher points
• A notification system about the current status of the queue -A telegram chatbot that gives real-time info on the current bidding status, room availability

How we built it

• Utilizing the T3 stack, we built the Frontend with Next.js and TailwindCSS. Fast prototyping was made possible by shadcn/ui.
• The backend was built using tRPC, Prisma, and MySQL.

Challenges we ran into

• Building an API in a different paradigm (this was the first time we were using tRPC)
• Dealing with unexpected changes such as deployment and package management

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Successfully mapping the entire Raffles Hall with a beautiful interface :))

What we learned

• Learning to code under time constraints and pressure
• Agile SDLC on steroids
• tRPC

What's next for RoomReg

• Addition of a preference period, where residents indicate several rooms that they are interested in, before bidding period starts. This can help to reduce conflicts.
• More integrations with Telegram Bot for a better user experience, such as subscription to notifications.
• Add complete data and enhance the block layout.
• Add support for all other halls in NUS.
