Volunteering App

Inspiration

We were deeply inspired by LinkedIn and the wise words of ChatGPT

What it does

A volunteering opportunity board where volunteers can find events near them to help their community. The opportunities are hosted on a server that users connect to using the client.

How we built it

We built it using C++ and Unix TCP sockets to create a server client architecture.

Challenges we ran into

• The information sent between the server and client would sometimes be unexpectedly changed during communication
• The server would crash
• The client would send the wrong requests ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
• Submitting SOMETHING before the deadline ## What we learned
• A site like LinkedIn can't be built in 2 days
• how to use git to collaborate on projects
• how to use Unix sockets for comprehensive applications ## What's next for Volunteering App
• Creating a functional program
• Adding more functionality like editing events once created
• Using libraries to send email reminders about events
