We bring you a secure platform where you can find similar people, with whom you can split the fee and not worry about fraud or that account being shared further with anyone else.

The problem ShareHub solves

It often happens with all of us that we want to buy a subscription for only a month, but the fee is too much and none of our friends are interested. We are either forced to take a cheaper plan or shell out extra money. We have made a platform that can help you by matching you with similar people and keep the account secure from any kind of exploitation.

Does it happen that you shared your password with someone and that person has shared it with some unknown person and so on without your permission? We can help you there too. Just use our platform to share your account and you can keep track of who is using your account.

There are existing solutions, through shady Facebook and Instagram groups and pages, but we provide you a secure, transparent, and trustable platform to do so.

Challenges we ran into

Our platform works on cookie-based authentication. Keeping the cookies secure and processing them across was(is) the main challenge. We experimented with cookies a lot to get ourselves familiar with their pitfalls and technicalities, before heading over to the frontend and backend.
Coming up with a process that is safe from exploitation and misuse. We researched and did some surveys to find out that a soft balance of security and user experience to find out the best policies for such a platform.
We are using a new tech stack for a better design, thus learning + building a decentralized app simultaneously is a big hurdle. This one is a characteristic of hackathons and we are just hacking our way around the stuff.
