How we built it

We used the MERN stack (Mongo, Express, React, Node), Bootstrap for styling and Firebase for authentication.

Challenges we ran into

Team was inexperienced with web development, unfamiliar with Firebase and React context, file uploading and missed out on some design issues.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Setting up the entire project base from scratch, learning/re-learning React Bootstrap, setting up a chat page, solve the card matching problem, solving authentication issues

What we learned

Project setup and structuring, web development, system design, database management

What's next

Make the chat real-time using web sockets and fix login issues.
