SI 660 - Experimental Social Computing Systems

Communal Table Project Visual

Timeline: Jan 2019 - May 2019

Objective: Plot Potlucks around Ann Arbor using a Web Application.

Languages / Tools Used:

  • Python + Flask Framework,
  • SQL,
  • GoogleMaps API

3 graduate students (who were sick of eating alone) wanted to experiment with a social platform that facilitated food gatherings.

We developed a web application that allowed users to "Host a Potluck" or see what potlucks are already planned in your area.

The host provides details on the food they'll provide & perhaps what food (or even cash) they'd like to request from guests.

Although never deployed on a web server, you can see the code at this GitHub repository: https://github.com/rahbjee/CommunalTable-Web.

P.S. Feel free to follow the instructions on the README.md to run the application on your local machine!
