Comp 20 - Web development at Tufts. This is my team's final project web prototype

#Title: This is NOEA, a project developed for comp20 at Tufts. The server side code is written in node.js and is on heroku. #Problem Statement: You're out in the city and want to grab food, but don't want to eat alone.

#Solution: Program matches you with other users in the area with the same preferences in food.

#Scenario / Features:

• First time user creates an account and lists food preferences.

• Users can connect with friends and can control who can view their profile or who they are matched up with through privacy settings.

• Users can either connect to their friends or meet new people with similar food preferences.

• User can pick a restaurant they want to go to and can either be matched with a friend or a random user who wants to go.

• Alternatively, user can also decide that they want to eat immediately, and don't want to eat alone and be matched with someone close by who wants the same.

• Chat system enables users to talk to the people they've been matched to.

#Pick Five:

• geolocation
• server-side data persistence
• front-end framwork
• reporting
• send emails, SMSes, or push notirications

#Data:

• location
• food preferences
• friends
• log-in info
• record of people user has been matched to
• record of where user has eaten

#Algorithms: selection algorithm to match users together
