Inspiration
Skyscanner is a global travel search engine. Where we feel it could be improved is allowing the true social element of travel to be experienced. With FriendFly you can share your planned trips with friends, plan and co-ordinate your travel with them if you so choose.
What it does
Uses the user's facebook details to populate profiles and create a news feed of their friends' upcoming trips. We also planned for it to find the optimum time to visit your friends that live in different countries.
How we built it
The front end is built using Skyscanner's own Backpack framework for React.js. Backend using Python / PostgreSQL.
Challenges we ran into
Understaffed. Many of our team members left early and thus we did not get as much done as we'd have hoped to.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
React.js user interface The social nature of the project
What we learned
Setting up a social network is not straightforward!
What's next for FriendFly
Expanding to have more of the envisaged features.
