Inspiration
Imagine being able to connect with people in your immediate surroundings in a meaningful way, without the need for small talk or awkward introductions. That's the idea behind a new chat application that only allows users to talk when they are within a certain area.
By requiring users to register and tag their location, the app creates a sense of community and belonging that can be difficult to find in the digital age. Users can chat with others who are nearby, whether they are at a coffee shop, a concert, or a public park. This creates an opportunity for people to meet new friends, make business connections, or even find romantic partners, all while staying within their comfort zone.
The app is designed to be inclusive and welcoming to all types of people. It is a safe space where users can share their thoughts, ideas, and feelings without fear of judgment or discrimination. By bringing people together based on their physical location, the app encourages face-to-face interactions and helps to combat the isolation and loneliness that many people experience in modern society.
Whether you are new to a city and looking for friends, or simply want to connect with people who share your interests, this app has something to offer. By providing a platform for people to connect and communicate in real time, it has the potential to transform the way we interact with each other and create meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

Challenges we ran into
We faced several challenges during the project, including connecting the front-end to the back-end of the application, designing the application, and even brainstorming the initial idea.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our accomplishments during the project include the successful design of the application and the creation of a basic implementation, both achieved within a 24-hour timeframe. While we didn't finish as much as we had hoped, we are proud of what we were able to accomplish.
What we learned
During the hackathon, we discovered that it's important to communicate with the team when facing a challenge. When one of us encountered an issue, we realized that discussing it together could have led to a solution.
What's next for UniVerse
In the next iteration of uniVerse, our plan is to include all the features we missed from the design draft, such as geolocation, the homepage, the map, and any other implementation features that were not completed.
