The idea
Finding good teammates in college is harder than it should be. Class group chats are noisy, and you usually don’t know if someone’s a good fit until halfway through the project. BuzzMatch puts every student in one place and shows you who you’d actually work well with.
What it does
- Home, matches, messages, and profile pages. Core flows for discovering teammates, viewing matches, messaging, and managing your profile.
- Reusable frontend components. Shared UI building blocks to keep pages consistent and speed up development.
- Project and skill-based matching. Profiles surface skills, interests, and goals so students can find the right collaborators.
- Full-stack MERN architecture. React frontend with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB powering profiles and messaging.
A look inside
What I learned
Small details matter. For example, sorting students by school year seems simple until the computer puts “Graduate” before “Junior” alphabetically. Fixing little things like that is what makes a product feel polished.
