## Devpost submission (written by the team)

### Inspiration

The inspiration came from driving students at bus stops waiting to get to campus. As a stranger, I can't exactly offer anyone a ride, but I have room in my car, and we're all going to the same place. That's how SlugCruise was born!

### What it does

It connects Riders and Drivers. The Drivers input their path, number of seats, departure time, and the riders get connected and walk to a stop along the driver's path, adding a stop to the driver's route.

### How we built it

We built the frontend using React, Node, and Vite hosted on Vercel, with Supabase handling our PostgreSQL database and secure student authentication.

### Challenges we ran into

We had a lot of trouble syncing with the database and then getting consistent results.

### Accomplishments we're proud of

We feel we made something fun to use, and useful for the community at UCSC!

### What we learned

Persistence, we started late, but here we are!

### What's next

A rating system for drivers and riders, a way of message without giving away personal user information. Persistent states for users between sessions and devices, and mid route real time tracking.
