Users can also directly search for their friends if they want to make a 'Pear' with any existing friends. Users who have 'Peared' can also share a drawing board and draw together.
Pearpeers frontend was built using HTML/CSS and JS/jQuery. The domain was created using Domain.com.
- The backend database was constructed using Google Firebase.
- The Web App is deployed using Google Kubernetes Engine with Docker.
