MVP Outline

The class buddy matcher application is intended to be used by first student university students. The application will match students with a buddy to help them make friends with other students. This is achieved by including the following features in this software.

• Users are required to log in and authenticate themselves before using the application. Users can link a Google account to provide login details. Only authenticated users can continue using the software.
• The upload page can take in a URL input of a student's calendar file. This file is parsed on the back-end.
• The courses page will populate with the courses that student takes. They can then find a buddy who takes those courses using the buttons. The buddy pairing algorithm matches students to eligible buddies. Users are able to confirm or skip buddy requests.
• Finally, users can chat with other users in real-time using the messaging page where they can view all active conversations
