Hello Hackers, Hustlers, and Hipsters!
Just this past weekend, hackGSU had a major showing! HackGSU is put on Georgia State’s very own computer science department. PantherHackers had major hand in helping the event run smoothly (shout out to the financial committee’s Harsha Goli and Sri Rajasekaran!), and we had a ton of PH members participate. Many of our members did amazing and we want to showcase their hard work!
Expresso
Team Members: Haroon Qahtan, Viraj Shah, Alex Mitchell, Solomon Arnett Winners Of: #HackHarassment, Best Design - Cox Media Group “This app connects people who are not emotionally feeling very well to individuals who can help them through a one on one chat or a group chat.” https://devpost.com/software/expresso-mr1d2x
NoTypePass
Team Members: Braxton McLean, Cameron McRae, Lee Klarich Winners Of: Watch Dogs® 2 Best Device Privacy Hack, Best Newbie Team - Presented by Big Nerd Ranch “NoTypePass generates random sentences for the user to type, records data related to each key event, such as when a key is pressed or when it is released, and then finally sends the data to a machine learning algorithm to either train the algorithm to learn how you type or to authenticate a user by categorizing your typing style to a previously learned pattern.” https://devpost.com/software/notypepass
BTCheckIn
Team Members: Kevin Aiken, Brian Cabigon, Nishant Sinha, Michael Chung, Linda Tai Winners Of: Best use of IoT - Presented By GE “BTCheckIn automatically detects when users come and go from an office environment using bluetooth enabled devices like their phone, and can log in their times without the user having to do anything.” https://devpost.com/software/btcheckin
Guru
Team Members: Forrest Wong, Jajuan Brooks, Jordan Li, Lawrence Chen, James Jackson “Tell Guru how you are feeling. Maybe it’s your first time at a hackathon and you weren’t able to finish your project, but you know you should demo anyways because it is a great experience. But you're also a little scared. Tell Guru. "Hey I don't know if I want to demo. I'm kinda scared." Guru will return an array of quotes pertinent to your situation to help you follow through.” https://devpost.com/software/guru-wisdom-in-your-pocket
Pulsify
Team Members: Macdonny Saintil, Trai Tran “This gives the user a personal and comforting experience with music and animation.” https://devpost.com/software/pulsify
Saasnoharass
Team Members: Nathaniel Brown, Mohamed Yassin “Sassnoharass is a web service that functions as an API, receiving a message as its only parameter and returning an integer back to the sender. That number is the likelihood that the message was offensive. We also built a demo to showcase what the API can do.” https://devpost.com/software/message-checker-api-demos
DealDownTheBlock
Team Members: Vibhuti Patel, Nicholas Wan, Darien Pourmehr, Alma Gonzalez “The app will run in the background of the phone utilizing the location. It will read the coordinates of the phone and return notifications from businesses nearby that share their daily discounts as a marketing tool.” https://devpost.com/software/deals-down-the-block
Speedy
Team Members: Caleb Lewis, Daniel Dakev “Speedy facilitates racing between people from all over the world. You sign in telling the app how you want your race set up and the app will pair you up with someone else around the world with the same options. Then it will track you via GPS on your phone to watch where you're going and how fast you're going. There's also a web app that spectators can view races as they happen lives.” https://devpost.com/software/speedy
Vocadroid
Team Members: John Wayne Creech, Madison Hanberry, Jack Le, Ryan Tibbetts “First, Vocadroid gets some lyrics through our android app. Then, when connected to the Harman Everest Elite, you can listen and modify the tempo by bobbing your head. Then, when connected to the Harman Pulse 2, you can visualize the notes being played. This, in a whole is what our app does.” https://devpost.com/software/vocadroid-47gfs6
DontWasteFood
Team Members: Joel Dsouza “DontWasteFood drops markers on maps and adds a description box. The description includes the pick-up time, address, description. Using the information provided food banks can send volunteers to pick up food and later donate in to the homeless.” https://devpost.com/software/dontwastefood
hackCatApp
Team Members: John Wayne Creech, Madison Hanberry, Jack Le, Ryan Tibbetts “HackCatApp replaces every image on a webpage with a cat picture.” https://devpost.com/software/hackcatapp
