Note: This app was intended for use on mobile browsers. It looks best on a desktop if viewed in the development tools in the phone simulator. It works on android, however it does not render properly on IOS. It should work fine on IOS 10.
Smokator is mobile web application that seeks to improve the process of acquiring cigarettes from strangers in a bar.
Many people who are casual smokers who don't carry cigarettes have the problem of not having cigarettes on hand when they want them.
Our project solves this problem by providing a tool for quickly and easily locating someone who is at the same bar and willing to give you a cigarette.
We used the Google Places API as well as TextBelt for SMS messaging.
We used React.js with Material UI in the front-end. In the back-end we used Node.js and Express for building our server. We used Knex for connecting our Express server to a PostgreSQL database. We also used Socket IO for building out our chat feature.
