Project Summary
At Hack the Gap 2018 my team chose to make an application that would help people and adoptable animals find each other. Using the conventions of dating app Tinder, we built Pawsibilities - Find Your Purrfect Match.
Hack the Gap is a two day hackathon. Projects are pitched and built on day one, and presented on day two.
Pawsibilities received the Twilio Unicorn Award "for the most creative/surprising/ambitious/audacious hack"
