Fabor

Inspiration

The world we live in is divided. We can start with our local community to foster commonwealth, growth, and unity. Let's create a space where we can be there for one another and fabor a neighbor.

What it does

• We built a platform that allows users to volunteer to help someone else; in return, those users can ask another person for help.
• It's essentially a perpetual cycle of pay-it-forward.
• For example, if I tutor someone in math for 4 hours, I will later have 4 hours to spend myself.
• Time becomes your currency, and you cannot exchange it for monetary value.
• Currently limited via distance (local community focused)

How I built it

• Using golang as our back-end services, we deployed our web app using docker and azure.
• We used JQuery to connect the back-end to the front-end.

Challenges I ran into

• Azure services deployment was a great challenge
• Finding diverse teammates and fitting everyone into a role.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• Learning azure on the way
• Learning golang almost from scratch
• Learning about Angular and React for front-end, went with Ajax and JQuery
• Coming up with the idea and planning out a whole attack
• Staying up the whole time even with a midterm on Monday

What's next for Fabor

• See it in action within your local neighborhoods :)
