+
+SoloConnect is a full stack web application that aims to connect solo travelers with one another while they're abroad to facilitate face-to-face interaction and create more meaningful memories/experiences. Our goal is to improve safety during solo travel by helping users dynamically create travel groups and make unfamiliar environments not feel quite so foreign. 
+
+SoloConnect is hosted using AWS Elastic Beanstalk and uses a Django/Channels(in progress)/PostgreSQL stack on the backend and HTML/Bootstrap5/JavaScript on the front-end. These technologies were a great fit for many of the business problems we aimed to solve, and we've found this stack to be great to work with and an excellent educational experience.

+For a more detailed description of our features, UML diagrams, and overall project proposition, please see our wiki.

+Our team would also like to shout out and thank Emma Dawson for her ongoing help with graphic design and user interface planning. Emma is a very talented graphic designer and digital marketer, and she can be reached for project work at edawson7@fordham.edu
