A dating app written in Ada (for fun) that will connect PCC students with each other through various front ends. Perhaps Instagram as a front-end or some other, not really sure what else.
- Don't be super intrusive
- Offer minimum features to get people to hang out in-person
- Make people spend more time together than in the app
- Get CS students more dates
- Signup should be as easy as giving the app your phone number and student ID
- Simple Tinder/Hinge like behavior for matching. (Swipe left and right to get matches)
First, you will need to install Alire a toolchain and package manager for Ada.
After you've downloaded and installed alr, clone the project.
git clone https://github.com/prail/meet-eaglesYou'll need to cd into the repo and do alr run. This should download all
of the necessary toolchains and dependencies as well as start the project.
The web server will immediately start serving pages. You can type q to quit.
Navigate to https://localhost:8080 to view the page.
The reason for writing the backend in Ada is entirely resume driven, I want to get a job in the defense and government contract industry and already have experience writing PL/SQL which is Ada-adjacent, so the backend is going to be written in Ada. Also, I don't think people expect Ada (the government specced systems dev language) to be the backend for a dating web-app of all things.
