This is a social networking app built to let users find each other based on shared skills, or a shared desire to learn a particular skill such as yoga, basketweaving or a particular programming language. It was created in Angular 2 using a Firebase database. It is a team project that I've been working on with two of my former students.
Users can create an account and choose to list three skills that they possess, and three skills that they want to learn more about. The app then matches them with other users based on their skills.
It is meant to bridge the gap left between LinkedIn, Meetup, and Tinder where it is not specifically for professional networking purposes, nor is it for dating, and it is also for slightly more than platonic socializing. This app is for users who specifically want to focus on learning with each other, teaching others, and collaboration. Throught this one could find a new job, a new significant other, or a new friend, but the focus is on shared knowledge.
We hope to expand it to include integration with the Google Maps API so that users can also meet potential matches based on proximity.
