About... WatAreFriends

At the University of Waterloo, time is scarce - you're always sleeping in lecture, rushing to the nearest CnD for your third cup of coffee, or complaining about why your life is painful. We understand what you're going through. We also understand that, due to the lack of time, it's hard to find time for other things - especially friendships. That's why we made WatAreFriends.

WatAreFriends is designed to help you save time. By using this tool, you'll be able to figure out if you're on stream with people you meet, so that you can figure out if a friendship will work. In fact, WatAreFriends has been proven to save you time daily*, giving you extra time to work on those assignments you never manage to finish anyways.

The "Serious" Stuff

WatAreFriends was originally concieved late in the night - yup, that's where we get our best ideas. Try it yourself sometime! We decided to actually implement this idea, so we did it at the (first Annual) Treetu Hackathon in the Velocity Residence.

This project was built using AngularJS and Bootstrap for the front-end, with Python/Flask providing the back-end.

Our source code is available on Github in case you're interested!

Not Really.*

**In fact, not at all.

Discrimination against non coop students

Excuse u but I identify as a non coop student and therefore I don't have a stream (no stream pride) and therefore am offended by this app. There should be an option for non coop students (usually in class for fall and winter) to match with coop students too. Please fix this before I report you for discrimination against minorities.
