FOMO | Devpost

Inspiration

We were inspired to build FOMO by the overwhelming number of college students unsatisfied with the social life they expected when they got to university. College students aren't connecting like they used to and content-focused social media is the root cause. Current social media apps eliminate the need for students to go out, meet up with friends, have real conversations, and have fun.

We knew we had to create something different.

What it does

FOMO connects students.

FOMO is a tool to:

Find out who in your school is going out tonight. Let your friends know when you want to go out. Meet up with your friends outside of school. Eliminate social friction between students. Allow students to build genuine connections, not just followers.

How we built it

We developed the prototype in Flutter, and are currently developing the deployable version in React Native. We also developed the early-access landing page in React JS.

Challenges we ran into

Creating a coherent minimum viable product that users find simple and cool.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we have taken this idea so far, and we're excited to take this idea global.
