Project

Overview

This project was partially inspired by on YouTube tutorial I found while trying to learn the basic of React Native. Despite not being fully hosted, the app is still fully functional when hosted locally through Expo, which means that multiple users can log on with their google accounts, create a profile, begin swiping and chat with matched accounts. The biggest challenge I faced was the fact that the tutorial I took inspiration from was made using an older version of firebase, however this was also the biggest learning point for me in the project. I prefer older tutorials because the give you inspiration and basic guidance but you have to research yourself how to complete the project with updated versions of the technology. For this reason I have a much greater understanding of the Firebase Database and Firebase Authentication.
