The problem POPTALK! solves

Why?

• People want to discover new places to visit and travel to.
• People want to interact and clarify their doubts regarding the place.
• People want to store and track their travel bucket list.

What does PopTalk do?

• Allows people to add #wanderlust posts from social media to their bucket list.
• Allows people to join location-based chatrooms and interact with people around the location.

Challenges we ran into

• Social Media platform APIs are restrictive due to privacy controls. We made a browser extension where the user will choose to bookmark a post. No user activity is tracked thus maintaining user privacy.
• Allowing users to signup and log in using social media accounts in chrome extension and web app.
• Creating temporary chat channels and allowing users to authenticate and chat using their Twitter profile.
• Packing our solution into a seamless User Interface and Experience. Deployment on different platforms.
