Example Final Project Pitch

June 9, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

Elevator Pitch

Short, 1-3 sentences about the project and why it matters to you.

Casual Care Pool is a way for neighbors to find pet owners in their neighborhood to swap pet care with. I'm building it because I have a hard time finding good swaps for my two unruly pomeranians.

Technology

What tools/framework will you use

  • CCP will be a mobile app so you can use it on the go and "friend" someone with their QR code if you meet IRL
  • I will use React Native to build the UI
  • the backend API will be PEN Postgres/Express/Node

MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

  • User registration (you and your pet(s))
  • Finding a pet owner in the DB
  • Requesting a dog meet & greet

Additional Nice-to-Have Features

  • Show nearby pets on a map (Google Maps API??)
  • QR code friending
  • Scheduling care, integrating with Google Calendar
  • Karma points to encourage helping others

Technical Risks

What might go wrong? (and how you'll adjust your plan if they do) - Minimum 2

  • React Native might be too complicated
    • In that case I will just build a response web app with regular React
  • I run out of time on the owner & pet registration UI
    • I will simplify and just have the dog register but with human contact info (only one table, limit to single dog)
