Quidproquo (in progress)

Interactive Prototype

Introduction

Quidproquo is a mobile (Android and iOS) application built on a simple premise: the exchange of favors.

Technologies

Quidproquo will be built on the following stack:

MongoDB with Mongoose • Express • React Native • Redux • Node.js • Firebase

4. Live chat

• Once users match, they will have the opportunity to
