Problem

  • Picking a restaurant in a group chat took forever and no one wanted to decide.
  • Votes needed to sync in real time without over-building infra.

What I built

  • Swipe interface where each friend votes yea/nay on nearby spots.
  • JWT-secured sessions so only invited friends can join the round.
  • Yelp API integration that normalizes menus, price tiers, and hours for each card.

Outcome

  • Groups make a decision in under two minutes; we surface the top choice plus backups.
  • 50+ personalized recommendations per session with photos and links.
