We developed FoodFlagger, a web application that addresses Duke’s campus-wide food point scarcity and helps satisfy the innate human love for free stuff. To do so, our application stores data on several on-campus events with food and alerts and displays these events to users based on a range of their user preferences. Our web application features one main, searchable event feed that is specific to the logged-in user. A guest user can view/search through all events but cannot set preferences. In terms of interaction, a user can update their preferences, like or report events, interact with notifications, and view the running leaderboard (which tracks which user has gotten the most likes)
- Real-time event posting
- Distinguish between free food and paid events
- Functionality for users to sign up
- Gamified the app with post likes, leaderboard, and other metrics
- Reporting feature to flag invalid or misleading posts
- Scraped Duke website to discover events with free food
- Guest browsing for visitors on the website
- Filters for users to set preferences for events or types of food
- Functionality for users to add an event from the website to their own Google Calendar
