Paw Me Maybe
Paw Me Maybe is a “dating app” for pets, one that allows a user to match their animal with another user’s pet in the database! User Pets are displayed on the “matching feed” if they match the relevant tags on your own pets profile: only like-minded pets need apply!Our goal for this project is to create a site that makes it easier for pet owners to connect and set up playdates for their pets.
This website was designed for CPI 310 Web Information Mgt System (Fall 2019). I created a full stack application with front and back end functionality in a group setting. Used multiple database access technologies: SQLite, Node.js, and JavaScript. I created tables and queries to handle user login information, along with user profile data.
In my development experience, the factors that went right were:
- At the end of the day, we have a complete project.
- The matching algorithm works as planned, and the website allows users to login, add pets, and edit their own profiles!
Issues that came up during the development of the game include
- It was a difficult journey to getting the matching algorithm functional! We overcame many challenges-- like getting to understand mysql and the databasing logic.
- Over the course of our project, we had to cut direct messaging from the original plan-- while keeping the core functionality the same!
