Inspiration

This is just a prototype for what we want to change within the world of Dating Apps. We want to cater to those who have found what is currently on the market is missing the element of fun. Fun is important to us, and the gamification factor is where we want to make the difference. Once fleshed out a bit more we want a text adventure that aligns with the Love Languages and make matches with the recommendation engine based upon the responses in the text adventure. This is currently not in the project.

What it does

This prototype features a simple game of worm then a recommendation engine.

How we built it

We used Python for the Flask application and Machine Learning Model utilizing Keras and Tensorflow. We also used Javascript for the game aspect of the app.

Challenges we ran into

Going outside of our depth with JavaScript was a challenge but we found that the response times of the application improved once we were able to successfully implement this. This took up the majority of our time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A successful machine learning model utilizing tensorflow put into practice. The process was extremely educational, and we were able to dip our feet into JavaScript and front-end development. Despite the rudimentary look (we are Data Scientists that work mostly on back-end and occassionally front-end for data visualization)

What we learned

To be more flexible with our implementation of our code. Be willing to change and adapt our coding structure on-demand.

What's next for Heart Quest

We want to do a more professional model, this will mean actually developing a better front-end. Abandoning Flask for a more aesthetically pleasing and user friendly UI. Currently this is a desktop application, but we want a final product with our full ideas fleshed out in a mobile application we can push to market.
