📅 Skedulr

Turn your class schedule into your social superpower.
Connect with classmates, form study groups, and build community — all from a single upload.


🌱 Inspiration

Starting college means being surrounded by thousands of new faces, but actually turning those faces into friendships? That’s awkward and intimidating.

We realized every student already has a class schedule — so why not make it the easiest way to connect?

That’s where Skedulr comes in.


📲 What It Does

Skedulr transforms messy schedules into a social dashboard where students can:

  • 👯 See who’s in your classes — instant icebreaker
  • 📚 Form study groups — collaborate, not just cram
  • 💬 Spark conversations — without the small talk
  • 📊 Interactive dashboard — one glance shows overlaps and opportunities

🛠️ How We Built It

  • Frontend: React (Vite)
  • Backend: Express.js
  • Database: MongoDB Atlas
  • Auth: Auth0 for secure authentication
  • Schedule Parser: OCR + Google Gemini API (handles PDFs, ICS files, screenshots, messy images)

✨ Features

Core Extras Tech Magic
🗓️ Upload Schedule — one-time setup 👀 Class Overlaps — find classmates instantly 🤖 OCR + Gemini API — parse even messy files

💡 What We Learned

We focused on a real pain point: breaking the ice at college.

Balancing AI integration, full-stack development, and user-centric design under hackathon pressure taught us how to build something cohesive, functional, and actually impactful.
