TripDate is a dating demo app developped at HackUPC 2024 to meet people while traveling.

As a team at the Hackathon we developped an app to participate at the TravelPerk challenge. It consisted on develop something to meet people while traveling, so we designed a date application inspired by tinder to connect with people that take a flight to the same place.

The dataset provided to us by TravelPerk consisted in thousends of users with their city, flight destination, and the dates.

• User creation

  

• Recommendation Section

  

• Matching Section

  

• Chat (API)

  

• Profile (demo)

  

We developed an algorithm with python which makes the intersection of the city the user is visiting with other users that are at the same place on the same period of time. It wasn't an easy task due to the superposition of the users on the dataset but finally we coud reach to a good result. The python script uses Flask to comunicate with JavaScript and then it uses another API to generate random profile pictures (demo) as their weren't included initially to the dataset.

This section works with a Chat-GPT API that returns in json places to visit on the visited place. This iconic places of the visited city are used by another API to get images of the site, so we can get an idea as users of how do they look like. Moreover, thanks to the json returned by Chat-GPT, we were able to include a orientative price of the experience and a description.
