AKL Hackfest - Team Livable

Our premium student skills development event for code & design students in the programme is Hackfest, a 2 day app-building challenge for teams of SoT2017 students. They’re supported by industry mentors, and the challenge this year was to use an API or dataset, and build something cool in a weekend, e.g. a web/mobile app or data visualisation.Here’s the profile of one of the teams from our Auckland Web Hackfest, held at GridAKL on the 26th & 27th August 2017:Team LivableTeam: William, Max, Nicole, Junlong, Chong & Mentor KarthikApp Name: LivableWhat does it do? #livable helps young professionals discover a place to call home by visualising living costs and job prospects in one simple solution. #MakeAucklandLivableAgainWhat tools did you use to build it? Trade Me and Google Maps API, utilised npm and Node.js, express.js to set up the back-end environmentAnything else you’d like to share about your Hackfest experience?
