Hare

Move with a purpose.

Comment

Inspiration:

We wanted to create a program that made it easier for users to choose more environmentally friendly transportation methods. The social and teamworking element of the app cultivates competitive teambuilding opportunities. Improve the environment, improve your health, and improve team culture all with one app.

Hare guarantees users the absolute shortest path to whatever destination -- regardless of obstacles or slowdowns.

What it does:

Hare reduces fuel emissions by making it easier for users to use alternative transport methods. Using Dijkstra's algorithm weighted graph, Hare is able to generate the shortest path between two points. Hare converts the distance traveled to emissions saved, and logs it in the user's profile. Users can care for the environment, care for themselves, and join teams to meet weekly goals, and compete against other teams!

How we built it

We built the apps wireframe using Figma, and created a demo of the pathfinding visualization using react, node.js, css and javascript. 

Challenges we ran into.

Getting the scaling and animations to work on chrome browser.Providing accurate representation of weighted nodes.  We have never done any of this before! The time crunch was brutal.  We didn't know how to deploy a react app website or publish straight to Github.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Absolutely all of it!!! Can't believe we got the algorithm working with one team member down!

What we learned

We learned about Dijkstra's Algorithm and how the map apps generally work.We learned how maps calculate slowdowns.  

What's next for Hare

Smoother design, more algorithms, more features!
