Meet Me in the Middle

Take the stress out of finding the middle point.

Context
Created for the Sydney Computing Society (SYNCS) Hackathon 2024, I collaborated with a team of 4 other members over an intense 24 hours based on the prompt of connecting people through technology. We decided to focus on the struggle of finding a inspired by our constant struggle to find a middle point when planning where to meet.
Solution
Meet Me in the Middle is a web-based platform, which uses an HTML and CSS front-end and Flask framework to connect it to the python-based back-end. This was combined with a SQLite3 database for persistent data storage. We also utilised the Google Maps API for our backend, allowing us to effectively calculate locations that take a roughly equal amount of time for both parties to travel to.
