Inspiration

I saw people trying to find study groups in GroupMes with 300+ people using Google Forms and DMs. I just thought to myself that automating this would be a fun and quick project that would help a lot of people.

What it does

It helps create study groups using GroupMe.

How we built it

• NodeJS and Express as the server
• Pug as the templating engine
• MySQL as the database storage
• GroupMe API to facilitate contact between people and find people in groups

Challenges we ran into

• GroupMe's API documentation was difficult to understand

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• That we made the website look good

What we learned

• Read the docs before coming to a Hackathon

What's next for StudyBook

• Clean up code
• Use functions and libraries instead of copy-pasting code
• Add auto-delete data function
• Give students in other universities the ability to setup this project

Built With
